I really enjoyed to play sports here and all of the friendly people. Teachers where always their when you needed their help. Well at least some of them where. Some people it seemed as if they didn't really care about your grade.

Columbia High School is a very relaxed environment that is big on school spirit, education, and safety. They encourage their students to do their very best every single day to prepare them for their future after high school.

Just another public school hurting for money and finding it in athletic programs while the arts and STEM sciences are dying. Total joke. Let this ship sink.

This school is a complete joke. The vice principle has no sense of teacher student confidentiality, and she goes and tells other teachers, and students what she knows about other students home lifes. Bullying is a big problem at this school and the teachers have no clue how to handle their students....
