My child have gone to Churchill for 7 years (early fives-5th) and her younger siblings are going after her! It has a great program lots of help for students and a great staff!
—Submitted by a parent


Posted October 29, 2004

This is an amazing school filled with teachers and staff that genuinely care about the kids. My child utilizes the special education programs, and his support staff is wonderul. I have never met more actively involved staff anywhere. The principal, David Wangen, has attended every meeting regarding my child's progress. I would defintely recommend Churchill Elementary school to anyone moving to the Cloquet area.
