Columbia has been a great school for almost all four years of my high school experience. New students now and then, great teachers, good measures. With lots of clubs and sports.

I think that while Columbia High School is great, there is still lots of room for improvment. The main ways I could see effetive improvemnt are more envolvment, better student leadership, more college readiness, and cleaner facilities.

Not a good school. Poor college readiness. Decent STEM and debate programs. Preferable to Nampa High and Skyview.

This school is amazing the teachers care about the students almost too much. The faculty may not allow a lot of fun activities for students but when they do something they do it right. You have personalized schedules by the time you are a senior and you are ready for life...maybe not college but who...
