Columbia High School

Columbia High School sits in Burbank, a small, tight-knit community in the lower Yakima Valley where agriculture and the Columbia River define daily life. The school's strongest showing is in science, which makes sense given the region's deep ties to environmental and agricultural industries — families who value hands-on, real-world learning may find that connection appealing. It's a good fit for families looking for a smaller, rural school experience where students tend to know their teachers and community bonds run deep.
