Discovery Charter Elementary School has a racially diverse student body, with 50.5% White, 9.9% African American, 23.27% Hispanic, 2.97% Asian, 2.48% Native American, and 10.89% two or more races. The school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with strengths in 3rd grade math and 5th grade reading, but challenges in 7th grade math and 6th grade reading.

Economic need is a significant factor for the school, with 54.46% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
