Columbia Independent School

• PK, K-12
• Rating 4.15 out of 5  33 reviews

Sophomore: I have been a student at CIS since I was in kindergarten, and although there are definitely some things that could be changed, it is overall an incredibly inclusive and growth-oriented environment. The opportunities presented are incredible, especially considering the size of the school. The class sizes are small, especially in the high school, but the teachers are always there for you, and the interaction between faculty and staff is unique and completely worth the tuition!...Read 33 Reviews

Rock Bridge High School

• Columbia School District, MO
• PK, 9-12
• Rating 4.18 out of 5  410 reviews

Junior: Especially for Missouri, this is a great school. There are many clubs and activities available- Golf, Tennis, Football, Soccer, Speech and Debate, Math Team, Anime Club, Young Democrats, Young Republicans, Young Moderates, Rock Bridge Reaches Out, and more! We help you volunteer, and Rock bridge has an excellent Speech and Debate and Math team. 25 students were National Merit finalists or honorable mentions, while most schools are lucky to have any. We're also very close to the Columbia Area Career Center, so students can walk across the parking lot and take classes there for free- you can even become a certified EMT! There were some minor issues with in-school fights and drug usage, but we are repurposing the funds we used for our in-school police officer to help prevent this. We have a COVID-19 response based off of what other schools have been successful with. Students also are given a laptop to complete schoolwork with...Read 410 Reviews

Senior: I love a lot of things about this school. While there are certainly some bad apples, the overall population is generally nice, and I have had very few issues with my peers. on top of this, the classes offered here are wonderful. there is an incredibly diverse range of courses, covering things from mathematics, to agriculture, to welding and more. As well, the faculty and teachers are incredible. Every teacher that I have had has been wonderful. each one is passionate about what they teach, and every one of them has a unique teaching style. Every class in different, they are all engaging and enjoyable in their own ways. Overall, though there is certainly some flaw in this school, my experience has been phenomenal...Read 485 Reviews

Christian Fellowship School

• Private School
• COLUMBIA, MO
• PK, K-12
• Rating 4.49 out of 5  37 reviews

Parent: We love this school! Our kids are thriving in the small class environment where they get the required attention to grow both academically and in developing positive character traits. We are so glad we made this choice. The teachers are awesome, the environment is so positive and loving, like a healthy family environment. It is not one of those tiny private schools where they have no students or activities, they have a great sports program and plenty of fine arts opportunities. Plus the high school is also able to take advantage of the Career Center in Columbia as well. It is the best of both worlds! Even though our kids are 5 school years apart, they attend the same building from Pre-K to 12th grade. This was a nice bonus for us as well. If you're looking for a great school with top notch academics to send your kids to, definitely check this out!...Read 37 Reviews

Blue Ridge Elementary School

• Columbia School District, MO
• PK, K-5
• Rating 5 out of 5  1 review

Parent: Blue Ridge is a family oriented school. As a parent I always feel welcome there. I have 3 kids that attend Blue Ridge and all 3 of them love school. All the teachers are excellent and always make the parents feel like they are involved in their child’s learning. Blue Ridge has the best special Ed teacher. Jana Gilpin is amazing. She truly cares about her students. 2 of my kids have her for special Ed. She is definitely a teacher that never gives up. If you have a special needs child I would definitely recommend Blue Ridge. My child that does regular Ed is doing great as well. She is in kindergarten and already knows how to read and add and subtract. Overall just an awesome awesome school. We love Blue Ridge...Read 1 Review
