Columbia High School placed in the bottom 50% of all schools in New Jersey for overall test scores (math proficiency is bottom 50%, and reading proficiency is top 50%) for the 2017-18 school year.

It will be recorded as a school shooting.

My h.s. team played in Maplewood, in the way back times. Maybe that field.

Maplewood, Irvington, East Orange, and South Orange used to be good communities. My sister went to Columbia High in the early ‘60s. Things have certainly changed for the worse. Oh well, it’s sad.

“Wasn’t there a song that had a line ‘fofana’”

Yeah, some dopey song named “The Name Game” from about 1964 by some ditz named Shirley Ellis singing about rhyming names.

Yet they’re thrilled to have been recently rated as one of the most ‘influential’ high schools in the country. It’s a shame, it used to be a great school and town.
