Columbus Catholic is a great school. I have to say in my 2 years of being there so far it has been safe but there is quite a bit of drama. If you just stick to yourself and your study's you'll be just fine! The teachers there are great and they help you out a lot. It's a great experience very catholic and they make it fun!

its been a couple years since i graduated from here. im a 2019 grad but i still have friends who go there an i guess nothings changed because its still just as bad. when i went i got pregnant in sophomore year due to actions i couldnt control..a teacher said that i should abort that baby and that it was my fault. though this was a catholic school? confused as to why id be told that? the uniforms were horrid and no one liked them and im sure thats still the case. when it was time to graduate they never contacted me or my family about walking the stage and they forgot to order my cap and gown. my friend who is graduating this year has had the same problem. the teachers were way too strict and girls make fun of other girls constantly. if your are conservative and a strong catholic then your kids will be around transgenders and gays. youd think you wouldnt see that in a catholic school but sure enough, i did. school lunch was not the best either. the school was also always freezing.

As a graduating senior I am horribly disappointed in how the school is run, and even as far as how prepared their events are. They're not keeping up with their students and their needs from the school. As a school board they have failed not just the parents and students but themselves. This school board is not fit to support any students, teachers, or parents.

I am a recent alumnus of Columbus Catholic High School (2016). They do a fantastic job of preparing their students for college while providing a communal environment that fosters success. I would highly recommend Waterloo Catholic to anyone (Catholic or not) who wants their kids to receive a good ed...

I graduated CHS almost 15 years ago. Once I got to college and met people from all over the country I really got a good perspective on what a poor high school experience I had. The good teachers had been there for decades, but the rest of the teaching staff were the rejects from the higher-paying pu...

The school board could care less about the open racism that occurs at Columbus.
4/16/2015
Honestly these people try but they rarely succeed. Some great kids but teachers need to help their students instead of sitting on their cell phone. Some kids here do really bad things. Which can make a good kid turn bad. I would not send my child. It would take lots of work to make this school decen...
