Discovery Charter School – Tracy Learning Center opened in 2001 for students in grades in 5th through 8th grades. The school offers small class sizes with an average enrollment of 360 students per year. The curriculum is project based utilizing a variety of instruction and performance based assessments.

Along with core subjects, Discovery Charter School at the Tracy Learning Center offers extra curricular activities, which include drama and chorus. Sports available include baseball, physical education classes, volleyball, basketball, softball, cheerleading, football, and soccer. Other programs and student clubs include science & technology, community service, yearbook, student council, newspaper, and academic contests.

The opinions of parents are mixed. Some love the school and the curriculum, praising the accelerated program. On the other hand, a few parents had complaints that the older grades were responsible for grading the lower grade schoolwork. Some parents expressed that there is a lack of communication between teachers and parents while others really like the teachers and are in touch all the time.
