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.

Christiansburg High School is a pretty good school. The teachers are good and the courses are challenging. However, the school is currently under construction so it doesn't look the best and it is not the safest. But, the teachers and principals are doing their best to try to keep it somewhat normal.

My experience was and is overall very good. The teacher all try their best to get students learning, Each and every staff member wants everyone to graduate. There is always someone students can talk to. The sports are pretty good. There could be issues on a team or between teams and the principals always help to solve it. I have always loved my experience with Christiansburg High School.

The school is fairly nice. There are a lot of people in not a whole lot of space and normally the hallways are very crowded during class change. The teachers and administrators are all very nice there and I only had a few that I remember not liking. I enjoyed my time being there for the most part and the staff made me feel very welcomed. Overall it is a fairly decent school in the district and students were nice, except some instances, but I know other schools were way worse about bullying. I would recommend going there if you live in the area.

We’ve just recently moved here, but I’ve seen a major improvement in my child’s overall attitude towards school. She’s involved, and doing extremely well!
