Columbia-Montour Area Vocational-Technical School is located in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a full-time area vocational-technical school that serves the youth of Columbia and Montour counties in Pennsylvania. CMAVTS offers 17 training areas to secondary students in grades 9 through 12. In ninth grade, students are put through an exploratory program where they go through four programs through the course of a school year. In tenth grade they choose their "major" to focus on, up until graduation in 12th grade. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, in 2010, the school reported an enrollment of 633 pupils, with 244 pupils receiving a free or reduced price lunch due to family poverty. The school employed 43.5 teachers yielding a student teacher ratio of 14:1. According to a report by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, 100% of it teachers were rated "Highly Qualified" under No Child Left Behind.
The School is an extension of the educational programs of the seven participating school districts. The option of vocational education at the Columbia-Montour AVTS gives students a full range of educational choices. In addition to the traditional high school student, they also offer education options to adults with evening and summers with their adult education classes.
The school is governed by a board that is composed of one member of each of its participating districts. These individuals are appointed from the respective District's school board. The Board does not levy taxes. Instead, each participating school district pays a tuition fee per pupil that attends from that public school district. The school also receives direct state and federal funding like special education funding and Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Grant funds from the federal government. Each year, Columbia-Montour Area Vocational-Technical School's budget must be approved by the school boards of the participating districts.
In 2016, Columbia-Montour Area Vocational-Technical School’s graduation rate was 91.85%.
