Brookstone School

• Private School
• Columbus, GA
• PK, K-12
• 62

Senior: I've always attended Brook Stone so my opinion may be a bit bias. I have always enjoyed my time here growing up with the same people from age 4 to 18. The teachers really work with students before school AND after school if help is needed and often reach out if they feel like their student just doesn't get the material. They take the time to reteach things if you miss a day or if you just need a refresh lesson on it after school. The teachers are also the coaches so you get to know them on a better level because they go from the classroom to the field with you. They also understand if you're late to practice because of academics. The food is also a lot better than many other places. We have lots of different options for everyone (including vegetarian, gluten free, and it is a nut free campus) The school encompasses many extracurricular clubs and activities for artists, video gaming, athletes, etc.

St. Anne-Pacelli Catholic School

• Private School
• Columbus, GA
• PK, K-12
• 48

Parent: Our family loves St. Anne-Pacelli School! We have been there since our oldest, now a 3rd grader, started Kindergarten, and now our middle child has begun Kindergraten there. The teachers and administrators are caring, have high standards, and are very generous with their time. It is obvious that most of them are there because they truly want to be. We have been particularly impressed with the reading program and the addition of robotics in the lower grades.

Niche User: One of my favorite things about this school is its PE department. They go above and beyond for the kids, they create an environment that is safe, friendly, and fun, and all the while kids are learning, developing, and conditioning.

Northside High School

• Muscogee County Schools, GA
• 9-12
• 199

Senior: Going to Northside High School is an amazing opportunity. The way I am allowed to attend is through a magnet program since I am not zoned for the school. At Northside, everyone has a fair chance of equal education. The teachers are helpful and although they challenge us, they want to see the best in us. I would rate my overall experience at Northside an excellent!

Eagle Ridge Academy

• Muscogee County Schools, GA
• PK, K-5

Parent: Had 2 kids attend. 2-5th grade. Feel strongly they received a good education. Sharing parking lot with HS caused issued with morning drop off, but school now has kids starting earlier (not a fan), but traffic issues resolved. My children loved Drama kids program, also attended St. Elmos gifted school once a week. Think school spends money on wrong things, like new sign in device. Kids dont get recess everyday. Students start going to multiple teachers starting in 4th grade. I had personal issues with some teachers.

Calvary Christian School

• Private School
• Columbus, GA
• PK, K-12
• 40

Junior: It's a very strong Christian school, so if you are passionate about Jesus, you'll love it. Some people claim that our only good programs are Bible programs, but this is false. Many kids do lack work ethic here and don't take challenging classes. There's a multitude of arduous classes, and I've been challenged this school year. It depends on the classes you take. We offer on-campus, part-time dual enrollment classes and AP. In fact, I may not have to take college math due to my dual enrollment classes. The staff is more than willing to pray with you and give you godly wisdom, beyond just in your school work. We do prayer requests in class, and it has definitely adequately and exceptionally prepared me for seminary.

Allen Elementary School

• Muscogee County Schools, GA
• K-5
• 1

Parent: My children have been attending Allen for 7 years and it is an excellent school! My only regret is too many children per class (I'd say 20+ per teacher). The academics are excellent and the B- rating is misleading. You have to take into account that Allen is one of the most diverse schools in the district. In that, there are a higher percentage of children with English as their second language. Though many of these students receive additional small group attention, it does drop the overall academic score for the school. I think they deserve a higher score and certainly give Allen my recommendation.
