DSST: Cole High School, which is part of Denver's distinguished DSST Public Schools network, provides a world-class STEM education. We prepare all students for success in college and in life by providing college-preparatory education and a small and inclusive school format. We also offer an engaging set of STEM, music and art offerings to inspire their creativity. We were rated green on the most recent state rating scale. Our students had some of the top growth in math and literacy in the most recent state rankings and we are rated green on the state performance framework. While we focus on rigorous academics, we equally prioritize student character development because we believe every DSST student should be known and valued for who they are. Our strong, supportive community and shared core values give students the confidence to take the lead in their studies, athletics and activities, personal passions, college, career and in life.
