#1 Best Public High Schools in Asheville Area
Martin L. Nesbitt, Jr. Discovery Academy
Senior: As a current senior (class of 2023), I can confidently say that applying to and attending the Martin L. Nesbitt Discovery Academy was the best academic decision I have ever made. This school is filled with absolutely amazing teachers who not only inspire their students but also give them the ability to take initiative in their own learning. Additionally, due to the school's application process, the majority of my peers genuinely care about their education, leading to a nerdy, driven community. At MLNDA, students have the ability to pursue their own academic goals, and the school's resources allow them to make their ideas a reality in both the school and community. That being said, this school is not without its problems; many previously top-of-the-class students may struggle finding themselves being in the middle or bottom-half of their class, and the topic of mental health is vastly downplayed. However, if you are a driven, motivated student, I cannot recommend this school enough!... Read 49 reviews
