We really never had a problem with the principle. We really liked her compared to the one before her. My kids love Columbia and the teachers are really great to work with. Anytime we had a concern we could always get our concerns addressed. We now have a new male principle and he is AWESOME!!! One of our daughters has some physical challenges and he has been more than helpful. He teacher is AWESOME also. This school really tries hard to be a great school. The parents are also really involved and work hard to make the school great.

The principal is just not very good. You go to her with concerns and she is just a myna bird for whatever she read that morning. If you ahve a problem, there is no resolution

About the tests


In 2009-2010 Utah used the Utah Criterion-Referenced Test (CRT) to test students in grades 1 through 11 in language arts, in grades 1 through 7 in math, in grades 4 through 9 in science and upon completion of certain courses in grades 8 through 11. The results displayed on GreatSchools profiles are for all grades combined for each subject. The CRT is a standards-based testing program, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Utah. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
