Our goal at SST-Discovery is to become a State School of Character. In our initiative we have adopted our core ethical values of Integrity, Mindful,Pride, Accountability, Care, and Teamwork.
In our journey teachers will work along with parents and community members as partners to positively shape the social, emotional, and character development of the young people entrusted to them each day. Students in the school will feel safe, respected, and connected to their peers and teachers. This will allow them to flourish academically and socially.
88% of students in a School of Character feel safe in school, compared to the national average of 59%.
The dropout rate for a State School of Character is 3% roughly half the national average.
In a State School of Character, the teacher turnover rate is 4%, while the national average is 16%
