Academic Expectations

Discovery Prep expects students to demonstrate a mastery of all the project skills and academic skills. Project skills will be assessed through different benchmarks at specifically assigned times during the project. At the end of each project the solution will be implemented by the students. A presentation to parents and community members will be required where the community members, made up of parents, business leaders, church officials, etc will help to grade the final product.

Students will demonstrate their academic skills by taking teacher designed exams, including unit, mid term and Final exams. At designated periods during the school year students will be given a standardized test to demonstrate their mastery of the California state standards covered to date, by the school administration. This test will be used to assess and strengthen instruction in the academic areas most needed by students. The standardize test will include SAT, SAT II, AP, STAR and other testing formats.

All Students must fulfill both the UC/CSU entrance requirements and the CA State Graduation requirements. All students must take the ACT or SAT reasoning test and 2 SAT subject tests.

Students are also required to complete at least 200 hrs of Service Learning and to complete one Summer Institute. To guarantee that all the requirements are met, College Counselors are assigned to both the student and the parent.
To ensure true academic excellence continues to thrive, it is our policy that Credits will not be given to students who score below a “C” grade.
