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.

While in my time at DSST: Cedar was filled with lots of bullying I had a large support network of teachers who worked with me the whole time who would help solve some of these problems and just gave me lots of support.

I've had a great time here at DSST. I am much better at academics when I started going to Cedar I felt a very close connection with my peers and teachers. I don't think it's a good school if you have bad mental health because they need to work on that but everything else is amazing! 9/10 recommend going here.

AT DSST I really am improving as a middle school student. I am learning above level and the school culture is great. I really like the people and Teachers. Homework can improve to lessen and be reasonable but Homework is OK. I like how they are really examining and have a great academic culture both teachers and students. I really recommend it here.

The social workers here are anti-family and influenced by Marxist-inspired critical theories. Do not trust the adults with your children.

One of the worst schools in Denver. Dysfunctional, disorganized, and not focused on education.

If a teacher thinks a student is falling behind, they will put them on mandatory tutoring, which I appreciate. It is more strict than most middle...

My child is in 6th grade. She came home one day upset because one of the teachers wouldn’t let her go to the bathroom even though it was the end of the day. Apparently she was walking to the 6th grade while students were leaving. And the teacher yelled and wouldn’t let her go? This upset my child an...
