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.

Columbus High School is a pretty average high school. Nothing exciting about it, just a place to get an education.

CHS faculty changes too much. They are on their 4th Principale in just 3 years. The academics offered are poor quality, students don't receive enough help because of CHS's low employment.

This is a great school. The students get a lot of one-on-one with the teachers and extra help after school. The academics are outstanding with over 90% of the graduates going to college.
