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.

The culture of this school is preppy, and it's in a small town where everyone pretty much acts the same. But people are generally nice and most of the teachers care about the students.

Central Columbia is a rural school which is lower on resources than some other schools, but they have found a great way to use what they have and get the most for their students. I love this school.
