Discovery Charter School in Las Vegas

Posted: September 1, 2026

This is my sons third year at Discovery. There were a lot of changes last year with the new director. The changes were needed and it was the reason I kept my son there. This year my son really loves his teacher. The staff are professionals and the school has the perfect environment for my son.

They want kids in school at 5 but don't care if your kid can read at a 3rd grade level if they won't shut up and be docile all day.

My kids and I are new to this school (Sandhill Campus) and we absolutely love it so far! From the teachers, staff, and admin, we are very grateful to have come across this school. It is an intimate, family-style campus, and we feel how much everyone cares for the kids. Everyone is always watching out for one another, and my kids love being there.

This school truly feels like a community. The schools leadership is supportive and consistently makes decisions based on what is best for students and families. In a smaller school setting, teachers have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with students and their families and provide that extra level of care and attention. There is a genuine sense of pride, love, and dedication throughout the school, and you can feel how much the staff cares about helping every student succeed.

Fantastic for a small community based school.

My daughter is in 6th grade and has been here since 3rd grade - she is doing very academically and loves going to school here. She has had some excellent teachers over the years. The admin could improve their communication but overall we are happy either way this school.

My 2nd and 7th graders transferred to Discovery 25-26 school year. They love it. They feel welcomed and love the 4 day school ( Monday-Thursday )
It's small campus, the Teachers and staff know the children and their parents. Love the school!

My son started school here this year. The location, the teachers, and the school's interior and exterior are all excellent. We can drop our children off safely in the morning and pick them up in the same orderly fashion there is no confusion or uncertainty, and I am truly very pleased. Most importantly, my son goes to school happily and eagerly; that alone shows us just how good the school is.

My daughter is starting Kindergarten year here and I love it already cant wait to see the future!

Posted: August 20, 2026

Excellent academic and formative level!A top-tier educational institution. I highly highlight the organization, the facilities, and the commitment of the teaching staff. My daughter has shown incredible progress in both her academic skills and her personal values since she started. It is a school that truly cares about preparing students for the future. Highly recommended!

My husband and I took our child out of public school and enrolled him into this campus and honestly it was by far the best choice we have made, if youre looking for a great school for your kids this is the BY FAR the best decision you could make for your childs future. The staff is very welcoming and VERY helpful!

Posted: August 20, 2026

When I tell you this is the school for your kids this is the school for your kids I have 10 here and they are truly amazing

Posted: August 20, 2026

Great school with staff that is warm and welcoming!

Posted: August 20, 2026

This school is such a fresh breath of air, I love how engaged the staff are with the students. They do a great job with communication and conflict resolution. I have never felt more safe having my children attend a school!

I worked here for several years and through the new admin change. Past staff was great, but half of them are gone now, staff that was there was forced to sign NDAs in their contracts and turn over their curriculum which is pretty scummy, and last year there was a $0 budget for all electives and teachers. The administration is very clique-y. If they don't like you, they push you out through unprofessional communication and no support. Not to mention the fact that all of their administration isn't qualified for the jobs they have a well as that some of the weird job titles they have are made up.

Many teachers have complained of the toxic work environment the admin has created through rewarding tattle-tales. If you disagree with anything admin says, you better keep it to yourself; otherwise, they deem it as you being "not a team player." Also, admin will flat-out lie about situations that need to be talked about for safety reasons.

Last year, the cops were called several times for a student who was trying to harm others. One of the calls was made by a student because they "knew admin wouldn't do anything" when another student threatened them, saying that they were bringing a knife to school and showed other students the knife. Another student made a shooting threat towards the school in general. They were punished (I don't remember if it was the same incident) by having their parent come to school for in-house suspension, and the parent proceeded to bully the students and argue with teachers, but they proceeded to still come to school with her student.

The PTO has gotten no support either, the poor parents are having no time or budget to throw the yearly events, so everyone has to scramble at the last minute. Management is very important to how a school runs and admin has shown that they do not have the skills.

I also want to point out that this is a technology heavy school. Teachers are pushed to have their students on laptops the majority of the school day (not the teacher's choice) even though studies show that is the least effective way to learn as well as that programs like i-Ready and ST Math are selling your child's data. If you have a low support kid with ADHD or autism, they'll be fine here, but anything more, take them to a school with resources and money.

No flack to the teachers or other staff (the counselors work especially hard with the kids), but the overall negative environment that the office creates seeps into everything else.

Discovery Hillpointe campus is amazing beyond words! Its more than just a school. Its a home. All of the staff are dedicated to each and every student.

Posted: July 30, 2026

Discovery is a family. The teachers and staff here want the best for their students and make it so very apparent.

University of Phoenix made this director here. That should tell you enough. The AI using director is outlandishly destroying the fabric of this school. The number of insecure incidents has grown wildly out of control due to their inability to manage a school. Charter authority needs to pull all funding and close asap.

Just there to use tax dollars and pretending to be a school in a rat infested day care.

this school is terrible and seems to get worst with each pasting year. Their safety and security on the campus is non existing. they have no lunch room or mpr room. no art room, music room or library room on their campus. The kids eat outside in the heat. The specials have to be don't inside of the kids classroom with their main teacher. Their communication is trash, and have no idea about their own policies and procedures. I wouldn't recommend this school to my worst enemy. Oh and they travel off campus to the neighboring park for have PE. F rating is what they deserve.

PS. I tried to give the school 0 Stars but wouldn't let me.

This is "school" is TERRIBLE!!! I would not recommend, almost all teachers are awfully rude (other than the art teacher <333), and all the homework is digital. The online homework takes more time than the average paper homework and does not help students at all. Not to mention, these teachers do NOTHING about the constant bullying. Me and my friends have been bullied several times, I do NOT recommend this school. Parents, do your research before sending your child to this dump.

Teachers are confrontational. Staff is disrespectful. Huge lack of communication between Administrators and Teachers. No one answers questions appropriately. Staff is not friendly to all kids. Not professional period. This school should be closed down. They ask for money/fund raising/donations a lot! You would think that staff would know how to get grants for the school. Dont walk..Run! Away from this school.

This school only caters to kids with disabilities and doing damage control with kids that cause trouble. They dont prepare the rest for the real world and they dont have programs to challenge kids that are ahead of the curve.

Posted: August 12, 2019

There are nearly always kids waiting to see the principal in the office when I stop by unannounced.

Posted: August 12, 2019

I would give this school zero stars. A lot has to do with administration. My son isnt being challenged, and only 28% of kids are meeting the standards for math. Close this underperforming school in the worst state school education program in the nation. Charter schools are overrated. Do your homework parents!!

Posted: August 12, 2019

Everything is online, its not challenging, but he spends a lot of time on homework.

Posted: August 12, 2019

My son isnt being challenged and his speech impediment has not improved.

Leadership quits and doesnt follow through as expected or as promised

Posted: March 5, 2019

It was very good. I felt like the teachers were very encouraging, and leadership and teamwork skills are a big part of the education. The projects are great and kids are taught how to think.
