Columbia High School had the highest enrollment among Rensselaer County schools, welcoming 1,253 students during the 2022-23 academic year, according to the New York State Education Department.

Data also showed that most of the students were white, representing 78% of the Columbia High School's total enrollment.

Among the 37 schools in Rensselaer County, Troy High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 1,154 students, while Howard L. Goff School welcomed 978 students and came in third in the 2022-23 school year.

Columbia High School is part of East Greenbush Central School District, which roughly covers two schools within Rensselaer County and has a main office in Berlin.

In the previous school year, Columbia High School also had the highest number of students among Rensselaer County schools.

In 2022, New York had roughly one teacher for every 12 students, which is lower than the national average of one teacher for every 16 students. A lower student-to-teacher ratio has been found to improve students' school performance.
