Discovery Charter Preparatory School (also known as Discovery Charter Preparatory No. 2, Discovery Prep, Discovery Charter, and DP) is a college preparatory charter school.[3][4]
Discovery Prep was founded by a group of parents who did not want to send their children to the local high schools, being the first startup charter high school in LAUSD. In 2003, the school added the 10th grade, with 11th grade added in 2004 and 12th grade in 2005. Since 2015, DP moved to a new site in Sylmar, California.[5] On May 29, 2020, Citibank lent the school $350,000 to $1 million.[6]
