About Columbia Correctional Institution
Columbia Correctional Institution is a public high school in Portage, WI, part of Wisconsin Department of Corrections. Columbia Correctional Institution serves approximately 4 students, and covers grades 11th-12th. MySchoolScout does not publish a rating for this profile because there is not enough verified data to rate it fairly.
Based on limited data: 0% component coverage.
What Parents Should Know
At 4 students, Columbia Correctional Institution 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.
75% of students at Columbia Correctional Institution were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average. Chronic absenteeism means missing 15 or more school days, and at high rates it drags on classroom pacing for everyone. Ask what the school does to help families get kids to class consistently.
