It's literally the worse school I ever been to, The teachers don't care about you. There's a lot of drama with everyone and A LOT of fights, there was a week that every day there were fights and aggressions between students.

It's an okay school. Being a student here is not similar to other schools which can be a good and a bad thing. On one hand, students here learn a lot, but on the other, students aren't able to experience any freedom unlike other students who attend different middle schools.

I liked the school prepared me for college and that the school was very big on students having a focus on academics. One thing that I think needs to change is the care and treatment of student athletes at DSST. The school doesn't put a lot of money into sports and expects a lot out of the athletics but doesn't put as much into them.
