About Rocketship Discovery Prep

In Redwood City, California, Rocketship Discovery Prep is a public charter elementary school. It helps kids in grades K–5. There are about 400–410 students at the school, and there are 32 students for every teacher. This is much higher than the average for California. Rocketship Discovery Prep is based on the Rocketship Public Schools model. This model emphasizes longer learning times, data-driven instruction, and basic math and reading skills.

U.S. News says that 30% of students meet or exceed the standards for math proficiency, and 29% meet or exceed the standards for reading proficiency. This means that they aren't doing as well in school as most students in California. Rocketship Discovery Prep gets money from the government to run its charter school.
