School Overview

Dorothy Height Elementary sits in one of Columbus's more working-class southside neighborhoods, and like many schools in this part of Muscogee County, it faces real academic challenges — current scores place it near the bottom of Georgia elementary schools in English and Math. Families in the area who are weighing their options may want to explore the district's school choice programs or connect with the school directly to learn about any targeted support initiatives underway. Columbus itself has a lot going for it — the Chattahoochee Riverwalk, a growing arts scene, and a tight-knit military community tied to Fort Moore — but finding the right school fit takes some extra legwork on the southside.
