DISCOVERY MIDDLE SCHOOL

DISCOVERY MIDDLE is a Title I public charter middle school that is part of the SOUTHWEST PUBLIC SCHOOLS school district, located in HOUSTON, TX with about 319 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 8th 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 19 teachers, DISCOVERY MIDDLE has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. 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.
