In 2021, there were 1,173 applications for only 80 spots in grades K-6.
Discovery Charter School is in session Monday-Friday from 7:25am - 2:20pm.
Because the majority of the students return to the school year after year, the number of spaces available may be limited in some grades. Space in kindergarten depends on the number of siblings who want to attend DCS. Siblings have preference in admission and are registered before the lottery date.
