Columbia Academy serves approximately 7 students, and covers grades Kindergarten-8th, and has a 7:1 student-teacher ratio.

What Parents Should Know
At 7 students, Columbia Academy is on the smaller side. That usually buys more individual attention and teachers who know every kid by name, with the trade-off of fewer electives and extracurriculars than a larger school can staff. Ask what activities it actually offers.
At 7:1 students to teachers, Columbia Academy sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.
Columbia Academy sits in a rural area, which can mean longer drives for some families. Rural schools are often community anchors with smaller classes, but check transportation, after-school options, and access to specialized services before you commit.

Why doesn't this school have a score?
We don't have enough verified data to rate this school fairly. This can happen when a school is very new, very small, or has limited test score reporting to the state.
Our rating model requires at least 2 of 3 data components (academics, student progress, college readiness, and resources) to generate a meaningful score. Schools below this threshold receive a Limited Profile to avoid misleading ratings.
