The narrative comments below reflect the perceptions and opinions of student survey respondents.
- Christoval is a small school, but not unlike bigger schools, we do have our own problems.
- Christoval ISD has a great resource education because I have come a long way since grade school because of these teachers.
- Christoval ISD has a lousy system of teaching but a good program. Some teachers don't help enough and there isn't an adequate after school tutorial. Homework policy sucks. School needs to be expanded and restrooms, gym, and buses need to be cleaned more often.
- Christoval ISD is a safe and secure little school. We have wonderful teachers that care about us, and a great principal who keeps everything in check. The only things I would change are some educational methods of English and Science.
- Education is lost in the Science department, due to no teaching, just homework, no help.
- Also, many female sexist teachers need to be reviewed!
- I feel our teachers could spend enough time on a lesson for the student to learn it.
- I feel that the authority figures in this school district need to know the full rules before they try to enforce them, i.e., principal. Also, the personal feelings amongst the teachers and staff need to be kept away from this school. If an authoritative figure does not agree or get along with a teacher, leave it out of the school and do not punish his job for personal disagreement. The peer pressure amongst the adults is [merely] political and if a teacher is punished by the school district because of the personal differences, they are punishing the students, too.
- I have gone here all my life and feel that it is a good school.
- I think that this school is way under the standards of technology for the time that we are in. Our computer program is way behind standards. The principal and our staff are in a conspiracy.
- I think the computer program needs to meet the requirements for most of the students and the PDA rule is bogus.
- It is good except teachers are ALWAYS moody and the library is often closed. The teachers aren't hospitable and don't let you access the Internet in the classroom.
- It's a good place to meet your education needs.
- More food to choose from and a little bit better. More desserts, too.
- No comment except better lunches and more to choose from.
- Our school is too crowded. We are in the process of adding on, but, four classrooms are gone due to construction and when all is done we will have six classrooms, only two more classrooms than originally. I don't think that was good use of money. I understand however there is a large band hall and we have no band. Also, our Science department doesn't have adequate teaching.
- Overall pretty good, but could be better. The parking lot is dangerous.
- The homework policy is wrong. If a kid wants to fail, let them fail without doing their homework. It's their loss, not ours. Thanks.
- The school needs administrators that are fair with everyone and who will [not] provide special treatment for children of school board members. The school administration needs to be mature enough to handle problems when they arise and be fair in their decisions.
- We need a clean school and better equipment.
- We need a special program for future careers in business working with computers like computer technician, etc. And also a program to help those students or new students to learn English.
- We never have help in the library and our teachers never help or just talk to us.
