GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

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 experience within Christiana High School has been amazing. Since I'm in the Dual Enrollment Academy, I believe that prepared me for college and how to use my resources such as tutoring or peer learning. I am also in the marching band. The marching band feels like a family to me and I honestly wouldn't attend Christiana High if it wasn't for these things. The staff and administration are also extremely helpful and friendly.

I enjoy the staff and teachers at Christiana High and they have all treated me with respect but it is just the other students at the school that are not doing the right thing. For example there are tons of people who fight, yell, and cause a ruckus in the hall, and to counter them the school uses hall sweeps. These hall sweeps can harm students that are doing the right thing but have a class on the other side of the school.

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.
