My kids are new to this school this year. I am impressed with the teaching staff and the kids have many opportunities both during school and afterschool. One of the afterschool opportunities is foreign language but I wish that particular thing could somehow find a spot in their schedules. Class size
... Read more is a problem. Many classes are in the high 20's and some are at if not over 30. I know it's impossible to add more classes when there's not more classrooms but it seems that there must be a point where either more classrooms are made or students are not accepted. Perhaps the answer is to move the GT program elsewhere?

However, they recognize they needn't waste their money because this school has some of the best and most experienced teachers around. Its students are focused, intelligent, and come from highly
... Read more educated families. We specifically selected a home in this neighborhood so our children could attend this school (and, eventually, Langley High School). Churchill Road is also a GT magnet school, so your child need not change schools if they make GT. Criticisms are few: I would prefer a greater focus on the arts (for example, orchestra does not start until fourth grade). Also, the school population has grown recently and there are a couple of trailers on the campus. However, if you want to ensure that your child gets a top notch public education, you will not be disappointed with Churchill Road. Read less
* In 2006-2007 Virginia used the Standards of Learning (SOL) tests to assess students in reading and math in grades 3 through 8, in writing in grades 5 and 8, in science in grades in 3, 5 and 8 and in history/social science in grades 3 and 8. The SOL tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Virginia. The goal is for all students to pass the tests.
