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.

This year would be my 4th year into Columbus High School. I met so many friends that understands me and knows me so well now.

They all try their best to teach us and prepare us for our bigger future and I'm so glad that they are doing it. I couldn't be more happier attending this school.

Columbus High was an...interesting experience for me, to say the least. I'm now a college student, far removed from CHS, and I can honestly say that my time there was not as bright and shiny as most make theirs seem. If you had asked me then how I liked it, I would have either put on a smiling face...
