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 Colusa High School is good. The teachers are extremely nice and will spend time out of their lunch to make up test or help you on homework you do not understand. My overall experience is good as they do not allow any type of bullying or other sort of bad behavior without a consequence. Something they should and can improve is the food type. They do include all fruits and vegetables for students to eat though.

Loved it, the students and staff helped me prosper into the man I have become. There was many flaws but I am happy with the spot I was in.

So far I've only been to 2 years of highschool. These have been pretty good. I enjoy being active in FFA and FBLA and playing soccer and running cross country. The only reason its not 5/5 stars is due to the fact that there is some racism that goes on. If one is not caucasian then it is harder to do things like excel in sports like basketball and softball. There is also special treatment received if you are caucasian which I am not. Another thing is that our school doesn't offer many opportunities or activities for college readiness.

Both of my children attend Colusa High School and our family is very pleased with the education that they are receiving. The teachers and site administrators are of a very high-quality. The athletic program is outstanding as are the other extra-curriculars such as the Environmental Sciences Academy...
