(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - The school is a scam after bipolar ill-mannered Mr. Pipsqueak and his not so helpful consular fraudulently sign students names on count day so that Options don't get closed down and lose there scam money from the state, they start knocking students out one by one and if they are not there on that day they are automatically suspended till the next semester which isn't fair when these students are dealing with personal adolescent troubles or court issues and are ordered that they have to participate in some kind of alternative education. So at the end of the schools trimester or so, only the favorites are there and usually 10 out of 80 students are left if they are lucky ITS NOT A OPTION ITS A SCAM!
The bad thing is Columbia high pushes the troubled students into options that way they still have a low drop out rate and the state wont be able to have issues with being designed as a high drop rate so they can collect more money for being a good school. Another situation obviously they are a racist school cause there is only white students other races are the one that go through the cycle the fastest to get them out of the district and it all starts in the high school.
By the way the day care has a care giver that has her own children that attends there and gets most of the attention throughout the day while there are little babies that are left unattended till the parent comes back in after class the and she also has a felony record look it up on OTIS
