School Overview

Discovery Elementary sits in the heart of Gig Harbor, a waterfront community on Puget Sound where mountain views and a small-town feel make it one of the more desirable corners of the greater Tacoma area. Academically, it's a strong performer across the board, with particularly impressive science scores that reflect the kind of curiosity-driven learning families in this area tend to seek out. It's a natural fit for families who want a rigorous, well-rounded education without leaving behind the tight-knit community feel that makes Gig Harbor such an appealing place to put down roots.
