I graduated from Churchill in 2009. I was part of IHS and it was an incredible program that prepared me for college so much better than my friends who were not part of that program. I would strongly recommend it to anyone! They also offer a wide array of high quality AP classes and free college now classes. This allowed me to gain college credit for every class I took starting my junior year. I also had total say of my schedule and was able to work in an internship my senior year and my transition to college was smoother than I think it would have if I had had adults looking over my shoulder every step of the way. However, while the school worked great for me and many others, it left struggling students behind and offered no effective support, leading several intelligent but disorganized people I knew to drop out. They all felt like the adults at that school were pushing them toward dropping out, rather than finding a way to work with them. I understand the school has changed its structure, I'm assuming in an effort to better support these students, but as of 2014, I know the school was still struggling in this area. Until this school figures out how to better serve ALL its students, I can't give it a better rating.

I love this school and so do/did my boys. The staff is friendly and they reach out if needed and offer help. My son has excelled due to the attention he received. The best part is the diversity.

The school really twist kids to thing in a harmful way
