The best parts of Christiana is the dual enrollment program. We get to take classes at a local collage if we fit the requirements which is very helpful and helps with college readiness. The worst parts are the fights and the food. There are constantly fights which leaves students feeling unsafe and the school food does not taste good which leaves students not wanting to eat and leaves them hungry.

With the new principal and administrative team, I am seeing improvement and expect there to be more in the near future. More parents should become involved in the PTO to support the students, staff and administration.

My time here was uneventful. The school have a good community but lacks resources and does fully prepare you for college and the professional world.

This school is extremely underfunded and does not provide an engaging curriculum that helps students progress in life. Teachers don't even teach the content found on standardized tests, let alone any useful knowledge. Some teachers don't even show up most of the time.
