Columbia Middle School

Posted May 13, 2009

I was very excited to get my first teaching job at Columbia. They played up the school's opening so much that you couldn't help but be dissapointed. With the changes in administration, the turn over of staff and the loss of programs, I can't help but feel this school was set up to fail. My last year at Columbia was frustrating. I could not get any support. I am happy to be out of the district (employment wise) and my own son who will enter 7th grade next year will never set foot in that school.

First of all, I would like people to understand that this is an unfair site. People only come on to bash individual schools or to vent not to praise them. I do understand the frustration of CMS but please rest assured that Adelanto School District heard their public and fired the principal in question. There is a new sheriff in town and she is awesome. Great things are happening there such as Club Columbia which is an afterschool program so cool that many of our students have joined and love which keeps them from joining other causes such as gangs and what not. It is also a new school, give it some time to grow because the teachers are overworked and underpaid. Please remember that when reading reviews on all schools but especially CMS!

I am now attending Columbia [and I feel] it is a very unorganized school. The teachers and administrators do not comunicate enough with each other or with the parents.

Feel the principal is the main problem with the school with his flippant attitude that he is always right. Feel they made a big mistake in losing Mr Early as a music teacher. Counselor attitude as bad as principal.
