Christel House Academy

I am in the 7th grade. This do reaal good in sports. I play b-ball, volleyball, pep-squad, baseball, and those are just some of the sports. I play the violin. Our music program has grew alot, everyone is involved and we all have fun. There is not alot of bullying everyone is friends. There have been a few more fights this year, then any other. They were all resolved. .I have went to this school since the second year it opened. I have saw alot of changes from different principles, to more sports, and a better music program. I think this school has grown alot over the years. The teachers are really involved, and want to get to know every student. It is a second home and everyone is like family.

As a parent that has been at the school since it's 2nd year I have seen it through thick and thin. I have seen programs grow and watched them fall apart through multiple principal changes. I loved the school when Dr. Thompson was there. She kept the kids on track, they were respectful and followed school rules. The first year she was gone the bullying went to a level I had never seen before. Standards for the children are much lower and kids get away with not following school uniform, sagging pants and continued bullying. Most of the teachers are amazing and dedicated. It seems, especially in JR. Academy, that the turn over rate for teachers has been due to unruley students-some teachers leaving after 1 day to a few weeks on the job. CHA is a good school just has a few wrinkles to iron out.

Teachers and staff rock, students are committed and the parents are involved. I also think going from the worst ISTEP scores in the state (2002) to one of the best testing schools (2009) is a very impressive feat!

I am a student at C.H.A and I have been here since first grade. I like this school. It has changed alot over the years. I think that the teachers are a little strict for the older kids. One thing though, we do get alot of freedom and chances to do new things in the school. My friends and I like all the free time we get and we like the sports. We have alot of winning streeks and even make our own tournaments. We just wish the older kids could have some more free time because we work rally hard. We only get an hour including lunch. Thats pretty much some good things that I enjoy.

I have yet to find anything I don't like about this school. The teachers are great. It seems all the teachers know just about all the kids. One day I was not able to pick up my daughter and sent my mom, they made sure my daughter knew who she was before she released her. My daughter is in Kindergarten and I am so impressed with what she has learned so far. I'm not sure what the normal is to learn in kindergarten but I do know that I wasn't reading in kindergarten. I music program just blows me away. I was so impressed to see how good their music program was.

I love this school, that are no surprises come report card time, Teachers are excellent and approachable.

I come in to volunteer at the school and think it is a great school. The teachers really care about the kids and the principal is aways willing to speak to me. The kids have lots of spirit and the building is beautiful.

This school is wonderful!
