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.

I have attended Colonial for all four years of high school and its not as bad as others make it seem. Colonial has given me so many opportunities financial for college and so many workshops to help with stuff going on. The teachers and staff tended to build a connection with the students due to the way the students are most of us look for familiarity and family at school. Colonial has always been welcoming to different cultures and different types of people and their culture and i'm so grateful as a students to have that. The main complaint about colonial that i have is the cleanliness because sometime the bathrooms don't even have soap or they don't clean the bathrooms at all because of the amount of students coming in and out.

When I transferred to Colonial High School, it was rather bigger than my old school that I attended; it took me a while to know where to go regarding classes. I haven't really made any friends, I mainly stay to myself, but I like the layout of the school.

The learning is good. The teachers are nice. There's a counselor, Ms. Carabella, I think. She is on the 9th grade campus, and she's so nice and supports everyone. The family engagement isn't very good. This school isn't very safe. There are constant fights, and nobody breaks them up; they just watch...
