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 staff & faculty treat every child and parent like family. They go above and beyond to ensure that all students are taken care of, nurtured and loved. Because of their absolute awesomeness, Ive been volunteering at Columbia Elem every chance I get. My children are very fortunate to call the staff & faculty at Columbia Elem friends. Theyve certainly become our friends.
