[quote=Anonymous]I am trying to decide whether to buy a house in the Churchill district or cheaper house and send kids to Catholic high schools. I have specific questions about Churchill HS (not interested in elementary and middle schools) from current/recent parents. I went to Churchill in the early 2000s so that is my frame of reference.

- how is the student population? I know generally strong academically but are they nice and down to earth? Are the kids super competitive in everything or supportive of each other? (I did not find 2000s Churchill to be all that hyper competitive and kids were friendly).

- same question but about the parent population? Ultra competitive and supplementing like crazy? Laid back and friendly?

- how is the school academically? Do kids read real novels and write papers? I keep reading about public schools no longer reading and writing. Is this also happening at Churchill? Is grade inflation an issue that affects quality of education? How prepared were your kids for college compared to private school peers who ended up at same colleges? (I thought Churchill of the 2000s prepared us well for college. Really no complaints about my HS experience).

Thank you![/quote]
