GreatSchools Rating
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 best experiences I have had at this school is being a part of the STEM academy, the Marching band, and the Jazz band. I would say that the school spirit isn't to what I remember when I was younger. It is moving in the right direction, but still is lacking. Compared to other high schools, we have less school spirit and I'd like to see it grow in the future. Other than the school spirit, Columbia High School has been a great experience that I was glad to have with me.

It been okay. The teachers are pretty good, but Idaho simply does not pay enough for great education.

It is a very good school with lots of good teachers and learning opportunities. A lot of students struggle with their summit program and the way some teachers choose to go about teaching using that platform. I would like to see all the teachers get more involved in their students learning.

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...
