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.

My experience at CUHS was pretty average. It is a decent high school for the area. Sports are definitely overfunded and hyped, and some teachers just don't care. I wish the food was better. Sometimes it was better to starve than eat the lunch they served. The band program is phenomenal, and the counselors try hard to prepare us for college, but they could do better. Overall, it wasn't a bad four years, but they could improve in some areas.

I like how each student can have a voice throughout their high school career by participating in Student Council. I think our school needs a remodel of all buildings throughout the district.

I have had a very good experience with Columbus Schools. I have been going here my whole life. They have helped me through the many hard times I have had. They will push you to do your best. And they will make sure you understand all the classes you are taking. And if you need help with anything they will get you the help you need.
