I have been going to Colbert County High School for 6 years. I would say it needs improvement with the faculty and staff. The level of learning and how much the students know also need to improve. The lunch food is only good when Thanksgiving is coming up.

The best part is the community, and I wouldn't say there is many flaws other than the administration being kind of unorganized

I had multiple issues at this school. When people spread rumors or talk about someone you're supposed to try to help not just say "what do you want me to do about it". As a student I thought you were supposed to go to a trusted adult when something like that happens and as a student I expected to get help . Another thing You don't have to have respect to go to the restroom , everyone uses the bathroom not everyone goes at the same time everyday? I don't see the issue , unless someone has went more than once in that one class. They treat you like trash unless you make them look good. If you don't play sports or in any type of club you let irrelevant . They don't care about anything but a paycheck and that's a fact.

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.
