DISCOVERY HIGH SCHOOL

Discovery High is a Title I public high school that is part of the Natomas Unified school district, located in Sacramento, CA with about 134 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 10 teachers, Discovery High has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Discovery High School, located on Fong Ranch Road in Sacramento, is an alternative education institution within the Twin Rivers Unified School District. The school is specifically designed to support students who may benefit from a non-traditional learning environment, offering a flexible academic structure to help students recover credits, stay on track for graduation, and achieve their high school diplomas.

The campus focuses on providing personalized instruction and a supportive atmosphere for students who might have struggled in a comprehensive high school setting. By emphasizing credit acceleration, individualized attention, and targeted student support services, Discovery High aims to empower students to overcome academic barriers and prepare them for post-secondary success, whether that involves transitioning to college, vocational training, or the workforce.
