Columbus North High School has been an overall good experience. I've made many friends and relationships with students and teachers who show alot of love and support. The c4 program is what I enjoy most. The construction pathway and as well as the accounting pathway is what I'm currently enrolled in and offers a many opportunities if I choose to pursue a career following each of the skills and knowledge required.

I went there for 2 years. It has strong academics but it's communication system is trash. We also had to wear lanyards, which I don't agree with.

As A senior I Feel Like The School Has Really Tried To Improve On School Safety. While Some Are Simple Things Like Wearing lanyards On School Grounds Another Improvment Would Be Hiring More Student Resource Officers. Columbus North High School Helps Students Be Prepared For College as They Offer A Variety Of AP Classes.

Mediocre school. Lots of bullying which is tolerated by faculty. I would never send another kid here!
