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 school works with limited funding, but doesn't offer many accommodations fo students looking to pursue other opportunities such as study abroad, running start, or early graduation. There are few good teachers, and if I hadn't done running start I wouldn't be prepared to enter college.

Columbia High School was in one word, fine. The school is lacking in resources, student opportunities (limited courses/activities), and employs many subpar educators.

Columbia is a decent school but you don't learn a bunch. Some of the teachers don't act like they care.

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....
