High Schools in Columbia School District


Summary:

The Columbia School District in Mississippi has only one high school, Columbia High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school has an enrollment of 471 students and is ranked 49 out of 130 school districts in the state, with a 3-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Columbia High School has maintained relatively strong academic performance, with test scores in Algebra I, English II, and Biology consistently exceeding the state average. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 107 out of 232 high schools in 2024-2025 (3 stars) to 138 out of 228 high schools in 2023-2024 (2 stars). The school's four-year graduation rate was 89.4% in the 2022-2023 school year, but it also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9%.

One notable aspect of Columbia High School is that 100% of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income student population. The school's student-teacher ratio is 15:1, which is within the typical range. While the school's performance in most subjects is strong, its scores in U.S. History have been lower than the state average, suggesting an area for potential improvement.
