Columbus High School

• Muscogee County Schools, GA
• 9-12
• 725 reviews

Alum: I loved how engaging the staff and students are, and there really is something there for everyone! They don't focus on sports like many other school do, and they provide many activities and extracurriculars there. They have amazing debate, math, lacrosse, volleyball, and golf teams. They also have wonderful clubs for people who enjoy languages, art, theater, music, science and other things. Overall it was amazing, and I really enjoyed my time there!

Brookstone School

• Private School
• Columbus, GA
• PK, K-12
• 68 reviews

Senior: Brookstone is known as "a high school on a college campus" and I can honestly say that is a fact. The Brookstone campus is truly something to behold. The facilitates are always kept in superb condition. Also, as a small private school, the student, teacher relationship is unlike any other. The teachers and faculty are always there to help and they want nothing more than the student to succeed. The college counselors are especially amazing. They always check up on the students and make sure they are ready for the next step in their life. I am truly glad I chose to go to Brookstone and I would not trade the memories and relationships I have made here for anything.

St. Anne-Pacelli Catholic School

• Private School
• Columbus, GA
• PK, K-12
• 53 reviews

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

• 210 reviews

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!

Hannan Elementary School

• 2 reviews

Parent: My daughter is 8 now and in the 3rd or 2nd grade. She has been in 4 elementary schools. While attending Hannan she has shown the most improvement; she now has a voice, as a family we are able to go different places now. The teachers and resources are absolutely incredible. If I didn't give a
5 ⭐ rating it's only because we haven't got there yet.

Eagle Ridge Academy

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

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.

Glenwood School

• Private School

• PK, K-12
• 34 reviews

Junior: I like Glenwood school because everyone is so friendly and are there to help you. From teachers to students it's a school many people can feel at home with. I love my school's small classes. You can really learn here, and get to know your peers. My dislikes would be the extracurricular activities in school. At my school, we need more classes with hands-on learning, and teachers that actually teach Spanish and life skills, instead of us taking online courses, like rosetta stone, and edgenuity.

Allen Elementary School

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

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.
