This is my first year at this school and I wish I had come sooner. The teachers are amazing and always helpful. They provide many resources to help us prepare for what we want to do after high school. The buildings are a little older but I love it. We are not just a number at this school - we mean something. The instructors take their time with lessons, makings sure we understand what is expected of us.

This school absolutely sucks there's no communication between administration and students there changing rules without telling us before they do i they just expect us to know. Recently we had a threat that a student brought a gun to school there was no communication to us about what was going on we weren't even told we were on lockdown the first time they just told us we couldn't go to lunch. Later that night the sent an email saying they would inform us on what happened but they never did they tried to act like it never happened and anytime we try to talk about it at school the teachers shut the conversation down really fast. Going to this school also makes you feel like your not wanted and smoking in the bathroom and not whereing a belt is the same punishment there both a 30 minute detention. Also you can tell the teachers and the administrators have favorites if your not one of the favorites your struggling to figure out all your work on your own.

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.

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...
