Teachers at Colonia High School are very helpful and on task. I have a versatile lineup of friend groups here, which is why I love this school. Many of my classmates are very smart making each class competitive which I like as well.

While my experience was cut in half by Covid, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Colonia High School. There are lots of extracurricular activities, and you can make your own club if you have a new idea. The area around the school is secluded, but has ample space for sports and other activities. The teachers and counselors are also kin and understanding.

The experience at Colonia High School is very good. The teachers are nice, and the food is well made. The only thing I'd wish more of was events for the whole school in general. Sometimes it could get boring with only classes and if there were more events there'd be more inclusion.
