I transferred to Winston Churchill High School the start of freshman year, one month into the new semester. Of course, anyone would be intimidated, but I found myself amongst one of the nicest communities and welcomed by faculties and students alike. It didn't take me long to find where I belonged in the school; I joined the theatre department not long after I started school and was thoroughly elated to find it memorable and most importantly, professional. I definitely made friends who had the same passions as me. The academics kept me challenged and constantly improving, which is always a good thing, and I love the diversity that this school has compared to my last one, where we can all learn a little something from our peers and connect with them. Overall, Winston Churchill has made an excellent first impression on me and will no doubt keep surprising me in the years to come, and I look forward to those years. It's a great school!
It’s an excellent school in terms of academics, variety of classes, sports, and clubs. The school facilities are fantastic! Cons: It’s not a welcoming environment for new students plus it feels like the student tends to be just a number because of the size of the student body. The office staff, Counselors office staff and the register were not too friendly. Our counselor was nice and very helpful with all college stuff.
Churchill is a very competitive environment with many determined and persistent people. The "standard" is to take multiple APs every year except for freshman year and it can be very stressful. Most of the teachers are pretty good, especially the history department! They are reasonable and genuinely try to help you as much as they can. The spirit is pretty absent, and attendance at sporting events is low but the overall culture of Churchill is much like a private school.
