High Schools in Columbus Municipal School District


Summary:

The Columbus Municipal School District in Mississippi has only one high school, Columbus High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Mississippi high schools, with 0-star and 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger over the past few years.

Columbus High School's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates in core subjects like Algebra I, English II, Biology, and U.S. History significantly lower than the state averages.

By focusing on these areas, the school can work towards providing a better educational experience for its students and better preparing them for future success.
