I feel that my school always does very good on focusing on college, its one of their biggest points of focus, they spend a lot of time focusing on it but sometimes I do feel that they allow a little too much autonomy in searching since I feel that most students don't go out of the way much to ask for help which I feel is caused more by a lack of knowing about these college topics. I think most of the teachers are good and there is a good amount of acceptance and tolerance in the school, although upper management does seem a bit iffy especially how they seem to treat certain clubs when it comes to planning events.

DSST Conservatory Green is a very nice school. It might be the best in Colorado. We are rated quite high compared to other schools, and the staff and students are relatively friendly and safe

There is a lot of diversity at the school and since it's relatively small, most students know each other so students are always well engaged. There is a high importance when it comes to college readiness. School offers a lot of AP classes as well so that's also really nice.
