Columbia Junior High School

I am strongly dissapointed in this school. Coming from another school in Seattle, the "Cougar Kickoff" initiation day showed me a lot of polish and promise. 3 months into school its more than clear that they were just putting on a show.

What a fantastic school! Teachers are dedicated, caring, and truly understand the true art of teaching. The administration has done a wonderful job setting up policies, discipline stuctures and student interventions sytems that encompass the many needs of junior highers. Our closets are full of CJH gear. CJH is Super Duper!

Needs to expand science wing. Needs bigger lockers. Otherwise, better than CA schools.

I strongly disagree with the bully comment above. This school as others in the district has some of the best teachers. The academic programs are preparing our children for future success and well administered. The sports programs are excellent. The school is centered in an area that is community driven and there is active parent involvement. This school as well as the others in the Fife School District have standards that surpass many of the area's around it.

This school lacks the needed leadership to address the prevelant bully problem. Teachers in their ignorance actually add to this problem. Students do not feel safe, which interferes with their ability to learn.
