David H. Hickman High School

• Columbia School District, MO
• PK, 9-12
• 460 reviews

Senior: I have been going to Hickman for the past 4 years a love it here! I could not imagine going to a better high school in my area. The atmosphere is wonderful and very positive. The teachers are great and I can easily talk to them whenever I need. The students can be challenging to work with at times but that seems to be the case for most high schools. I am an honors student and enjoy the classes available. They fit my needs along with the needs of students who do not need the challenge like I do. Overall, Hickman is a really great school and I am proud to be a kewpie.

Muriel W. Battle High School

• Columbia School District, MO
• PK, 9-12
• 70 reviews

Senior: I have spent four years at Battle, it is a new school, with up to date facilities and some amazing teachers. It is a very diverse and accepting school,with many opportunities for kids to succeed. Students can join any club and start any they wish. Sports bring students here together as we support each other and come to the different games. There is a bit of a violence problem with large numbers of fights occurring, however cops are present during school hours to insure safety. Overall I have enjoyed my time at Battle, being a part of the cheer team, drumline, and marching band, as well taking many AP classes and learning from the caring teachers that work here.
