3/17/2025
My experience here was a mix of hard and good. I say it was both good and bad because I came from a school where the focus on students was pretty much nonexistent—we could do whatever we wanted, and I honestly don't remember learning much. So, when I arrived at DSST, it was a big change for me. At first, I struggled with the workload and had no motivation to engage with it. However, as I got older, I began to appreciate how much support I could get from teachers who truly care about my future.

One of the best parts is that it's a very small campus so you can know everyone pretty well. Another thing that's good is the location has. Something bad the campus has is probably the amount of space for recreational use. Also the rules it has around the campus

My experience has been amazing within this school with the great opportunities to visit colleges and participate in college programs. However this school lack the athletic department with not a lot of sport options but the stem makes up for it

My student has been at this school 4 yrs. 3 grades middle school and now 9th. He was put in Advanced Math in 8th grade and he flunked. He begged the teachers and staff to take him out of there because he didn't understand it. This school sets your child up for failure. High school teachers don't car...

I could not choose a better school for my children, I currently have one in grade 12 and I am very satisfied with the great help they give us to know how to apply to the university, there is always a lot of communication between teachers and us parents, the best of this school is that they manage gr...

I love that DSST is a small school. I don't think my son would've done as well if he went to the local "traditional" school. My son is in his 1st year of college and one of his professors told him "You must've gone to a really good high school". He was prepared for college.. and his friends are too.
11/19/2016
DSST does not prepare kids for college. The kids are hand-held through assignments and very few know how to read and teach themselves from a textbook, a skill needed for college! Furthermore, they group all students on the same level for most subjects, preventing the advanced from being challenged a...
