St. Christina has been a wonderful experience for my son. Then again, he is a good kid who doesn't need much in the way of extra help and is not a discipline problem. I think that the parents who are submitting scathing reviews have children who either have disciplinary issues or need a little extra

Some of these parents (obviously) refuse to believe that their children are the ones who are causing the disruptions. All in all St. Christina is a wonderful school with a solid cirriculum.

Poor principal leadership and involvement. 70% of teachers are very good. Some are past their prime. Way too much homework! Not enough artistic programs. Too much money begging.

I don t know how the word got out this is a good school. Teacher communication with a parent is lackadaisical. If you child falls behind there is no game plan on getting the child help. Play is not encouraged at recess, if and when the children get one. The after care is militant. Stop yelling at

St Christina is a very good school. However like most schools it does have its flaws. The disciple is not structured to both boys and girls and the teacher parent and principal parent relationships are very unproductive. The rules and guidelines they have set do not let the parents get involved.

This school continues to be a disappointment for me as a parent. I do not feel that the teachers focus on the children who need a little extra one on one time. My child has continued to struggle with math, I don't think she is getting the extra help she requires and deserves as a student. I think
