About DSST: Cole Middle School

DSST: Cole Middle School was the third campus in the DSST Public Schools network to open.  It opened its doors to 140 sixth grade students in August 2011. 

DSST: Cole Middle School’s program has a college preparatory focus, with an emphasis on developing core liberal arts skills in reading, writing, mathematics and science. Students succeed through a highly structured classroom environment with clear academic and behavioral expectations. This program and environment prepares students for the rigorous high school program at DSST: Cole High School (to be opened in a few years) and ultimately for the challenges of college.

Enrollment to DSST: Cole Middle School is granted through a lottery process. Please see the Middle School Enrollment pages for further details.
