I really enjoy my school district because it's a small town feel. They have extra time with students in classes and they are also have a great sports program . I personally play volleyball and softball. The only down fall that I came across is since it's such a small district they don't offer much diverse classes but I'm very grateful they offer running start that I started this year .

I graduated a while back, but other than there being absolutely no help with planning for adulthood, like college prep, or classes that help general life things, like budgeting, or cooking. The standard education level is decent and I never had a staff member be demeaning towards me.

It's a small school so I know just about everyone there. Classrooms are small so teachers are always able to help everyone!

I went to this school for my senior year only. I must say...it was terrible going to this school. From getting picked on to getting yelled at by the counselor and even threatened to kick me out of school by the then principal. I mostly got picked on, because I wasn't rich and I didn't really fit in...

I grew up in Burbank and went through all of the schools. I have had the opportunity to be the ASB president so I know a lot of what goes on here at Columbia High. From my observations I see great and hard working people in this community. In regards to one of the previous reviews, I can gladly say...

There is a serious problem in this high school! some kids are mean, they harass and bully other kids and no one cares! The prinicpal and superintendent and atheletic director are all aware. My child does NOT feel safe in this school. And my child is not learning a thing!
