Summary:
Discovery Charter School is the sole public charter middle school serving grades 6-10 in Bahama, North Carolina. With 332 students, the school has a diverse student population, with nearly half identifying as White and a third as African American. While Discovery Charter excels in reading proficiency, it faces challenges in mathematics and end-of-course exam performance compared to state averages.
In the 2023-2024 school year, Discovery Charter ranked 323 out of 793 North Carolina middle schools, earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's strengths include above-average reading proficiency across all tested grade levels and strong 8th grade science proficiency. However, 7th and 8th grade math proficiency fall significantly below the state average, and the school's end-of-course exam results in Biology, English II, and Math I are well below state benchmarks.
Overall, Discovery Charter School appears to be serving its diverse student population, maintaining a stable ranking over the past three years. While the school has areas of academic strength, there are opportunities for improvement, particularly in mathematics and end-of-course exams, to better support student achievement.
