Summary:
The Columbia Borough School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Columbia High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has faced declining performance in recent years, ranking 596 out of 686 Pennsylvania high schools for the 2023-2024 school year with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Columbia High School's academic performance is consistently lower than the state average, with only 25% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in Algebra I, 11.4% in Biology, and 16.9% in Literature. The school's 4-year graduation rate is 87.5%, and its dropout rate is 1.6%. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 85.64% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the district's relatively high per-student spending of $23,567 and a low student-teacher ratio of 12.8, the school's academic performance continues to lag behind the state. This suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the challenges faced by Columbia High School and improve educational outcomes for its students.
