About Cedar Middle School (DSST)
DSST: Opened with 6th grade in fall 2013, adding one grade per year to eventually have grades 6-8. DSST: Byers Middle School?s program has a college preparatory focus, with an emphasis on developing core liberal arts skills in reading, writing, mathematics and science. Following the DSST Public Schools model, 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: Byers (to be opened in a few years) and ultimately for the challenges of college. Byers Middle School will be located permanently at 120 S. Pearl St., but will be housed at 200 S. University St. for its first year of operation.
