Summary

DSST: Conservatory Green High School is a public charter school in Denver, CO, serving 556 students in grades 9–12 within School District No. 1, and it stands out as a high-achieving option in the city's northeast corridor despite serving a largely low-income student body. Roughly 70% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, yet the school ranks 116th of 338 Colorado high schools (66th percentile) and posts an excellent 95% graduation rate with just a 0.7% dropout rate. With a favorable 13.5 student–teacher ratio, the school delivers strong results year after year.

Academically, this school punches well above its weight. In 2025–2026, SAT math proficiency reached 51% compared to 33% for the district and 32% for the state, while PSAT10 math proficiency hit 64% versus just 40% districtwide. Reading and writing scores match or exceed state averages in most grades, and science proficiency has climbed dramatically — from 10.3% in 2022–2023 to over 30% today. Perhaps most impressive are the outcomes for students often underserved elsewhere: the school ranks #1 in Colorado for both African American students and students with disabilities, and it places in the 85th percentile for English Language Learners. Low-income students rank in the 82nd percentile statewide, signaling genuine equity in results.

Conservatory Green also outperforms its DSST network neighbors — DSST: Montview High School and DSST: Elevate Northeast High School — on nearly every metric. Its results are especially striking compared to Northfield High School, located just 0.05 miles away: despite serving more than double the poverty rate, Conservatory Green posts nearly identical math scores and actually exceeds Northfield in science. Nearby Montbello High School and Northeast Early College lag far behind in reading and math proficiency, putting this school in a different league. The main concern is chronic absenteeism at 32.9% — below the district's 38.1% but above the state's 28.4%. Even so, for families seeking strong academics, proven equity outcomes, and remarkable student persistence, DSST: Conservatory Green is an excellent option.
