[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Principal seems nice enough. I wish they hired a Principal from a top 10 HS.

[b]In general I dont like the fact no drivers ed, almost no Art, almost no clubs after school, too much immersion junk and double STEM classes[/b], very very limited free SAT/ACT review courses offered by school.

The school in general is STEM focused when HS is intended to teach all not just the select few.

Also extremely ironic name. Winston Churchill personally ordered the deaths of millions of people in WWII yet has a zero percent tollerance of bullying.        [/quote]

No HS's in Montgomery County have driver's ed and haven't for years.

There is plenty of art related classes, including photography, pottery, computer design, orchestra, band and performing arts.

There are also lots of clubs, most haven't started yet. There is  club fair that you can sign up. It is usually held at night for the kids to go and see all that is offered.

As far as double stem classes, these are usually AP Science classes with labs, such as AP Bio and AP Chem. This is not typical of most of the other science classes.[/quote]

New Poster - Yep, it's been decades since any public high school has had driver's ed.  That is a MCPS issue not a Churchill specific issue.

The visual art classes are weak and limited. Perhaps that what the original poster was referring to.

The school could teach AP Science classes in one period.  Private schools do this with planning for the labs.  I am not aware if all public schools make AP Science classes double period or if that is a Churchill specific issue.

As far as free SAT/ACT prep, I have had children at Churchill for 8 years.  I never heard of any SAT/ACT prep being offered at the school let alone free prep help.  The counseling office usually provides a list of private companies that are really expensive.[/quote]
