Columbus Catholic School Reviews
Rating 3.56 out of 5 52 reviews
I am proud to be a graduate of Columbus Catholic High School. While Columbus certainly is not perfect, there’s a number of factors that still make it a great place to be. While there a couple of teachers that are completely terrible, there a more teachers that are phenomenal, both as educators and as people. They teach invaluable information about academics, life, and Christ, and they helped me grow in many ways. As far as the facilities, clubs, etc, the school is changing and improving every year, so while it may not be great at the moment, it’s definitely getting better. Christ is an integral part of school life, and the community is incredibly close-knit. Your class becomes like your family, and the school helps facilitate those relationships. Columbus has a lot of work to do, but it’s still a great place to learn and worship in. Plus the food is awesome, so that’s a positive!
Columbus High School is a Catholic private school. Though our graduation rate is near 100%, the diversity at our school is quite sad. The majority of students and teachers here at Columbus are white, with the exception of a few students. Something I would like to see change is the interest of ethnic family’s in enrolling at Columbus.
Columbus High School has a very small amount of students, meaning everyone knows everyone. You never pass by someone you’ve never seen before. Majority of teachers are excellent and well relate to students. There’s always room for improvement when it comes to equality and fairness within the school, many students tend to receive special treatment over others.
