Between the commitment of the teachers and the commitment of the school to awarding and recognizing positive student behaviors (not just academics), my children have grown and flourished beyond my wildest expectations.

This school used to be fantastic! Since the new principal came last year everyone is suffering. Test scores are down, communication is abysmal, bullying is running rampant, school supervision is non-existent leading to student injuries. When issues are addressed with the Principal he claims these things don't happen and doesn't offer solutions. Parents are no longer welcome on campus, it makes one wonder what else they are trying to hide.

The new principal is amazing! He truely cares for the students, the parents, and the staff. His communication with the parents and his involvement in the school exceeds my expectations.

An exceptional school for my two children. A California Distinguished School and a nominee for the National Blue Ribbon Award, the highest honor in education. This school has a 900 API score, the highest in Eastern Contra Costa County. Wonderful teachers and parent involvement. Huge community support. My children excel here, and our family feels we are a part of something special.

Discovery Bay Elementary is a great, fun, and educational place! I am a fifth grader and have had 2 years of experience. The teachers are great and there is barely any bullying. But there are a couple of things I would like the school to have, like class pets and a swing set. Thanks, Emilio (student)
