We're new to the area & the people at Waren told me that my son had to go to the continuation high school. They were kinda rude to us & hurried us away & I had some questions. From the minute we went in to Columbus,they were happy to see us & answered all my questions. I didn;t have an appoinment but the principal sat down & talked to me & my son. My kid told me that all his teachers took time to talk to him & help him out.The first thing his councelor did with him was to help him set his goal for graduation. My kid is happy to be there & says he has done more school work there than he has anywhere else. He's not complaining for the first time in a long time.Thius is a great place & thank you.
What a great school! My daughter had made up her mind that she wasn't going to graduate and she hated school amd me. I wasn't so thrilled with her and I was just tired of her and attitude. She got sent to columbus about a month ago and she changed. She now tells me she will graduate and loves this school because teachers talk to her and help her. Its nothing like we both thought it was. She believes she has a future and this school did something magical. I love Columbus High School!
This school is the best!!! regardless of what other people say! people used to always tell me that this was the last place you wanted to go, that it was filled with gangsters, that you'd always see fights & drugs! thats not true! this school is like your ordinary high school as a matter of fact my parents absolutely did not want me to attend columbus but i still went to this school not because i got sent there but because i wanted to graduate early and i actually accomplished it here, something that i couldnt do at downey or warren! and the teachers are the most loving and attentive teachers compared to warren teachers! and the staff is most definitely not rude like they are at downey or warren!!! im glad i came here and so are my parents, it completely changed the way we thought about this school.
The teachers at this school are among the best. They are experienced and caring and their job is often thankless, and sometimes dangerous. They salvage students who have been abandoned by their parents and have given up on themselves. Thank you Columbus teachers!
