Rating 3 out of 5
At Columbia Heights Educational Campus, being a senior has been about making great friends and enjoying cool teachers. But sadly, the staff doesn't always seem to care much about our safety or behavior. It's like there's this divide between the good times with friends and learning, and feeling like nobody's really looking out for us. Despite the fun and support, it's hard not to feel let down by the staff's attitude. It's a mix of highs and lows, where friendships and learning stand out, but there's this nagging worry about whether anyone's really listening when it comes to our safety. During Term 3 and 4, I worked hard to get better at school stuff. I asked for help when I needed it, studied more, and joined in class discussions. I also did some cool stuff outside of regular classes to learn more. Now, I feel ready to move on to higher education. My time at Columbia Heights Educational Campus helped me get ready for what's next.

I believe Columbia Heights Educational Campus is a good school. I have been at the school for almost 7 years. I especially love the ways it prepares us by helping us with college when it comes to applications, resumes, personal statements, and more. The teachers I've had are amazing. I would say though, respectully, there needs to be more motivation in helping students decide what they would want to be and explore that category or career.

Columbia Heights Education Campus is a very fun and diverse high school. You're automatically accepted by everyone, and you can easily connect to people there. The cafeteria food needs some changing, but the salad bar that they have is too good.
