Regardless of the budget cuts, they do all that they can to keep the arts in school alive.

I used to go to CHS i moved because my family didn't like the area or the school. I live in NJ and about to graduate. CHS is nothing compared to my current school. I have learned a lot more here than if i stayed all 4 years at CHS.

christiana high school my daughter goes to, is the worst school i have ever dealt with. improper dress by the students, that goes unnoticed by the staff,violence among students and disrespect towards teachers by students and a very low exspectation for students just to mention a few things. when going to the school to talk to the administration they are defensive and sarcastic and secreative you cannot get proper resolution.

I recently graduated from Christiana and I have to say that it was a great school. Maybe it was a little rough in the beginning with the previous principal but all that changed with Mrs. Lasorsa. She changed and she's continuing to change the school little by little and I imagine by this time next year, there will be alot more school spirit and unity.

Im going to be a junior at christiana this year, and far as my previous years have been... I would say that they are improving greatly. Students have complained about the changes, but deep down they know it'll better them. I really do enjoy chs and I would reccommend it 2 anyone. Its not the best school out there, but they are really trying hard 2 cut the violence, and ignorance in the school; and I thank them greatly 4 the effort. Chs has had a 180 degree change; thanks to the new changes and administrators.

I am currently a junior at christiana high school. Overall the school is decent. i think now that there is a new principal things are whipping into shape. but i must say that shes a bit strict. but maybe we need that. my only problems are that it kinda feels like some of the teachers are only there for a paycheck and not to try and help us learn. also it is way too crowded in that school.

My son is now a senior at CHS. He has attended there since nineth grade. We recently moved out of the district but was able to choice him in. He has always been a good student and at CHS has taken both Honor classes and AP classes. There will always be some teacher with whom either the parents or the students will not see eye to eye, but 90% of my sons teachers have been excellent. My son has been involved in sports, FFA, and dabbled in the behind the scenes of the school play. He is in the Honor Society and has held positions at captian of a sport and as an officer in FFA. The teachers that I have met on a regular basis because of his involvement in sports have been wonderful. I am proud of my sons achievements and proud to say he is graduating from CHS.

I have a child that attends christiana, and she was the best student, in every school she's ever been in, except Christiana. Teachers are not as helpful as they should be. There were kids smoking when i just came to visit,and there was administrators, that just said. Put it away. Do not send your kids here! I'm taking my child out.
