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.

During my four years at Columbus High School I enjoyed my time and felt I became a productive member of my community. I was given many opportunities to explore different career paths and to become certified in different areas of speciality. The extra curriculars and academics were also superb and taught my many lifelong lessons I will take with me and apply to different areas of my life. I thank my high school for this.

My experience in Columbus high school has been okay, what I like about Columbus city school is that there are teachers who are willing to help you if you need anything. What I can see change hopefully they upgrade their buildings.

In choosing to insist on a technical foul for his opponents wearing pink to RAISE MONEY FOR CHARITY he gave all of the kids a great example of what p...
