Colbert County High School doe not care about its students. It is a school that cares more about winning in football rather than its students. When people ask me where I go to school they groan when they hear it is Colbert County. I have been thought nothing of importance here, nothing that would help me in the real world. They told me when I asked for help applying to colleges to "just tap some button and you'll figure it out." I still haven't been able to apply because I'm scared I'll mess up the application. I have asked for help plenty of times for multiple things and they have brushed me to the side. This is a poor school and I don't want it to affect my chance of getting into college.

No preparation for college or life after high school. Limited opportunities to explore possible career paths after high school

I love this school. All the staff and teachers there are always kind. It is a very friendly and welcoming school. I love small schools so this school is perfect for me i get more of a one on one learning experience when I am there and get to understand my curriculum better.

This school is the worst school I’ve ever went to. Teachers don’t care about they’re jobs or their students. Bullying gets no resolution, it just get’s forgotten about. Nothing about this school is great, in my personal opinion, there’s no fixing this, they should shut down.

Great school. I was an athlete here and we dominated Muscle Shoals and Deshler on the regular.
