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 live in columbus north district with my final decision for high schools came i wanted more freedom and more opritunites with north it's a traditional high-school setting but with east we have out resource hall where you can go anywhere to study with a teacher of any subject you learn to make new friends and it seems to be the most socially acceptable and socially diverse school I've ever seen but the food still isn't the best but will always remember all the help i was able to get

The staff is very friendly and accommodating, but the school is not academically challenging and is not diverse. I am the sole person of Asian descent in my grade of about 400, and I consequently experience a lot of racism with little to no repercussions for the offenders.

CEHS is a good public school, of course, bias stems from my opinion. The classes are nice and extensive, catering to each person and their interest in the job field. The school also works well with the neighboring school Columbus North High School. The two schools have a system that works to get people to the classes they want to take, which are in line with their interests. Though I don't have enough time with clubs and activities, I have heard from friends and my personal experience that they are fun and interactive. The one thing I would change is the layout of our resource floor, which is a study hall. The plan is to make it more comfortable and accessible to reach teachers for help.
