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.

I would like to see a structured system for our students. Also the lack of accountability is present in the school. It's been hard having no roof on our school due to damage. We have had to move to 3 different places during the day. Like everything I believe this school needs a lot of work.

Honestly a terrible experience. Everything in this school is run down the bathrooms are gross the food services are terrible I feel sick whenever I eat their food. The students have no respect for eachother and their are fights all the time. Just not a experience I can recommend.

The things I like about Columbia Falls High School are that the school isn't gigantic and my school has a lot of pride. To specify, CFHS is a single A school so the classes are small which has allowed me to develop relationships with all my teachers. Also, the pride my school has is the good kind. At pep assemblies our principle is a prime example of what it means to be a wildcat, which is our mascot.
