I’m an alumni and I graduated in 2018 and was in Special Education for my whole life and 4 straight years in high school because of my Autism which disadvantaged me to take General Education courses. This lead me to be depressed everyday walking through these doors leaving me not being as educated enough as I thought because I was always afraid to be judged and I wasn’t feeling it to my teachers and my fellow Classmates, but I did join the Marching Band, and Track and Field which that was really fun in spiritual. Teachers weren’t really trying hard enough to challenge students to learn the criteria which makes students to struggle academically and un-prepared for college (for those who want to continually pursue their education) and not getting enough homework which makes them having the lack of Knowledge. The building itself I would say it needs a majority of improvement. Science Labs are already renovated Well-Done, but the rest of the certain buildings need to renovate the hallways in the B Building on the 2nd floor and C building on all 3 floors. However, they did a great job painting all over the building, but I think in consideration they should start over with replacing certain hallways to make the school look better and neater. I’m glad I’m out of Prison school. At my time here there were always fights in the hallway which it can grow its reputation of record through the students which it give a untouched relationships with the students. Half of the teacher populations can be unpredictable and rude. Some of them are not as helpful. We need to do a stupendous job finding teachers that actually make a great impact with their students to learn professionally and connect with peers.

I have sent my four children through this school, so I have been there for about 13 years. This is my last year at the Columbus School, and I have seen three different principals, all of whom have been highly effective and charismatic leaders. This is a very diverse school with many different ethnicities and socioeconomic background- this is not an easy school to manage. But the teachers and the leadership is committed to doing their best, working very hard, and showing care and compassion for all its students.

Racism is a big thing in this school

Went here for the Andrews Geography Bee and loved it the principal Mr. Tucci is nice
