GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

DSST: Cole High School was a great school for academics. They unfortunately do not have any sports whatsoever therefore you would need to participate at another school. The teachers are somewhat caring but deeply care about students education. They have a 100 percent college acceptance rate.

To start off, I recently graduated from DSST Cole High School. I've attended DSST Cole since 2nd grade & from that point I've enjoyed my overall experience there. I'm currently a MSU Denver Freshman & without the help that was available for me in DSST Cole High School I wouldn't be in this position I am today to strive for my future. The best experiences I've had was: Being a part of a community that I can look back upon & saying to myself that I'm part of this community Made some great friends Meet great teachers who helped me out through my highschool years

At first going to a school that was in the top 1-5 in colorado was extremely hard for me coming from a huge school. I want aware of my struggles until I struggled. Fortunately, I built connections with every teacher that I met, spent countless hours during office hours trying to catch up. Now currently being in the process of college, my school excels at making sure all its students graduate, which I'm very fond of.

The school is very challenging and they offer a wide range of AP classes. There is a real sense of community hear and teachers that can support you. There are also a wide variety of electives including guitar, drumline, 3D printing, etc. It's a really great school.

Extreme amount of work daily if a day is missed your grade falls to a failing grade because there is no D's and it takes so much work to get them back to passing. Homework is insane no time for anything other than school no time for sports or extra activities
