This school has a tendancy to sweep physical altercations and possible bullying under the belt with no suspension. I have reported several instances, 2 being altercations where my child was assaulted and didn’t hit back . No one should be aloud to put there hands on the next person. My autistic son was found sitting outside of the school because they summoned for the wrong kid to go to the office to be picked up. Thank goodness to the parent who saw my son sitting outside and escorted him back into the school. I continuously complain of the bullying, teasing and physical altercations but it seems to go on def ears. Duty aid calling the kids racial slurs. Girls putting their hands on boys and getting a slap on wrist or pinky promise, instead of suspension. My daughter attended this school when Mr. Beleno was principle and it was run much better. It seems that all they care about is attendance.

Administration does not support teachers. Some teachers have low expectations and allow misbehaving in classrooms. Students are focused on socializing and not learning. I would not recommend this school.

My children have been attending this school since my oldest started, She is now in High School. When they built the new school that we were zoned for, we fought to keep our kids at Columbia. Mr. B is amazing and the office staff is like family. The teachers have all been amazing and really care about the students. I feel safe sending my kids to this school. I'm a teacher too and could have my children attend my school, but we love Columbia too much and believe in the school.
