I am a student at Churchill, and the IB program is fantastic. We have great teachers that really care about us and help us learn. Our school has 4 great language departments, Japanese, Chinese, French, and Spanish. The non-ib program is not that good, so only enroll at Churchill for the IB program. We are all very supportive of each other and are like one big IB family.

We've found Churchill provides instruction in at a level and depth unmatched by other middle schools in the area. In particular, Churchill offers a much richer music and foreign language curriculum. Our son attended from 6th - 8th grade and our daughter is a new student. The school culture has a real positive energy, the teachers and parent volunteers are fantastic, and we are so happy with our choice of school!

I went to Winston Churchill in 1999-2000. I loved that school. I did better in that school than I ever did in Oklahoma Public Schools. As for the "teachers" discouraging the students, I dont think it is happening that way. The students have to be wiling to learn as well as the teachers willing to teach. In Oklahoma, I went through all 4 years of my high school career with at least 3 of my teachers saying, and I quote, "I do not care whether you pass or fail this class, I get paid either way!"

Churchill use to be a wonderful school. Not any longer. Students are disrespectful to the teachers and their peers producing chaos in classrooms. There is a bullying issue that the adminstration is unable to control. Our student is going elsewhere for 8th grade next year.

I daughter brought home homework only two times and one of those homework assignments was to color an Easter basket. She got straight A's on her report card. I then asked that she be placed in more changeling classes and she was. The problem was that the teachers were DISCOURAGING the students form pursuing the advanced levels. The reason was that there were too many students and they needed to reduced the size of the class. Instead of encouraging students to challenge themselves and increase the size of the "advanced" classes they wanted to increase the remedial ones. Keep in mind that the "advance" classes are not that advanced. It is so bad that many English teachers read to their class rather than have the students read the books assigned.

A controversial and inappropriate issue arose in one of my son's class. The teacher was rude and unresponsive. The vice-principal was understanding and helpful, but unable to reach resolution. The principal was unresponsive, uninterested, and displeased about the problem in general meaning, he just wanted it swept under the carpet. This is not an example of effective or good administration.
