GreatSchools Rating
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.

Colonia High School was an exceptional school, with many resources provided to students from varying backgrounds. Teachers and staff provide stellar care for their students. Attending Colonia High has shaped my perspective on life, and those around me.

For as long as I have been in Colonia High School, there's always been some form of activity going on. I do love the fact that CHS has a lot of cultural activities that go on, mainly because of the large amount of clubs that have to do with cultural diversity (There's Black Student Union, Asian Culture Club, and Hispanic Culture Club). The worst part, however, would be the amount of fights that tend to happen. If I had to put a number on it, I'd say it's around one a month.
