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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

This is my first year at this school but they have presented me with so many opportunities that were never clear to me. They have helped me set my future in the brightest way and I would be forever grateful for this school

The best parts about my school are the pep rallies when everyone comes together for a common goal or celebration. But on the other hand the worst part is when the school gets new restrictions because of other peoples' actions.

My overall experience being at Columbus High has been a long rollercoaster. The stress over the mandatory state tests and building different relationships with different staff has to be the biggest, but i am very excited for new opportunities that await once I graduate.
My family LOVES this school. My son is in the special education department and he has spoken nothing but amazing things of this staff, the students, and the food. We adore the team he has and are so pleased with the education he’s receiving. This school is making such a difference in my sons life

The local private schools are affordable, offer better sports opportunities, and have acceptable college prep as standard curriculum (not just for the chosen few). Both of my exchange students reported the same...

All positive comments are lies, I am currently a student here, and you have teachers that don't care, students that don't learn, and food that is terrible. I am currently trying to leave this school and attend MSMS o...
