Columbus Collegiate Academy is a Title I public charter middle school with about 236 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 13 teachers, Columbus Collegiate Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
