The first year was great, we were looking forward to a future with North Columbia Elementary School. The second year we noticed a big shift in the staff and administration. FUNDING was the new topic of high importance, not the quality of teaching and family engagement. We could not go to a single family chorus performance or event that didn't come with a print off detailing monetary contributions and how much money and how much was still required for the school. Nothing says we love your kids like asking for money constantly right!?! If you are big into GREED and not quality and care of students this is the school for you.

This school is Columbia County's best kept secret! The teachers are wonderful. The technology is fantastic. The curriculum is challenging. The administration is great. My children are getting a good education.

North Columbia is the best Columbia County school out there. My child attended one of the other Columbia County Elementary and by far this school out ranks them all. You can't appreciate this school unless you've been to one of the others. This school is not just about education but about you and your family. Thumbs up to you North Columbia, I appreciate all you do.

We loved this school! My son attended preK-half of 1st grade before we moved and we miss the close family atmosphere! The teachers are wonderful and love their kids. Yeah, it isn't the newest, prettiest school but there's lots of love and quality education and great values!
