Niche User: This is a great school! They work well with families and even though it's large everyone is friendly and accommodating. They are family friendly, rigorous academically, and stay on top of technology and professional issues. The staff and principal work well together and I wouldn't send my kids anywhere else!...

Senior: The biggest thing I have enjoyed during my time at Bigfork High School has been the family created by staff, students, relatives, alumni, and the community of Bigfork itself. All of the students know each other, and even though it is a high school and has some drama, we all remain a family. Everyone is involved in some form of activity; sports, music, art, etc.; and the school is filled with talented students. The academic programs are very thorough and do not suffice with skipping content. The parents and surrounding community are very supportive and are always jumping at the chance to participate in fundraisers and events - even if it is riding a bus for hours to chaperone a field trip. Overall, Bigfork gives every student the opportunity to learn themselves with as much help as they need. The teachers are never too busy to assist any student, and same goes for the students as well.... Read 78 reviews

Parent: I liked it, it's a very good school, I honestly think that it is one of the best schools of the best. There are smart people there and I would really recommend people to it. And if your feeling sad then that probably because you just need some friends. There are millions of people three you can play with. Also what I would like to see change is the food. I like it but I want better stuff.... Read 2 reviews

Senior: My overall High School Experience at Columbia Falls High School has been positive. There is nothing extraordinary in any way about our little school: it is not the best, it is a small old school with a wide variety of teachers, staff, and administration. I have had a very mixed experience with some very high-achieving AP courses which have been difficult and have pushed me to be my best academically and in perseverance. On the other hand in more general classes I've experienced more easy-going and forgiving teachers who can go down to the level of students struggling. The best part of my experience at Columbia Falls High School has been the friendships made and the overall focus the faculty has on making the day-to-day enjoyable and new. Of course it can be mundane to go to class each day, but in many different clubs, extracurriculars, and various events that take place it has been a positive experience for learning, growth, and enjoyment....
