Not that it's anyone's fault, that's just how thirteen year olds are. Fortunately (and unfortunately) I was a member of the former group. Hence I really hated it. But social issues aside, Churchill was a pretty good school. It is one of the few schools that offers both the AP program and the IB program. It is well known for its science and math clubs and the English department is pretty strong, too. I definitely learned a lot from my English teachers. I can't really remember many of my teachers except one. The Worst History Teacher Ever. I don't know if Mr. Unmack still works there, but he was the lousiest teacher I've had. He was always cranky and unreasonable and I didn't learn much. He had kids bring in "career models" every Friday to speak in front of the class for the whole period, so he actually never had to teach for 1/5 of the time. If your kid has Mr. Unmack, I suggest looking for an alternative schedule.

I will say the amount of opportunities here are amazing and graduating from here is only for the people who keep their head in books the whole time and who are not affected by the environment. The counseling office is so helpful and understanding though and help the students no matter what. Also the nursing program and media class are very helpful and can help with your future other then that .

Ha, I can't believe this is on here…read more Anyways, I am an EC Alumni who graduated in 2007 and was there my entire 4 year highschool career. If you're looking into this highschool for certain classes, they have your standard language classes, with Spanish and French. They took away Latin the year I wanted to take it though which was disappointing. Don't ask me about science classes or math, I hated both and scraped by on minimum credits when it came to these subjects. And English all 4 years was fun but my freshman teacher never liked me because I think she used to compare me to my older rowdier simblings, which was never fair. If you are aspiring in a career in art or music though, EC is the place to really be. You're allowed to take any of the art classes as long as you want, and the teachers are never afraid to let you excel and do what you really want to do. There was even a welding class I always wanted to take but never had time. I mainly took drawing/painting and ceramics while I was there as far as art and it was the best learning experience I've ever had. Anyway, I think Mr. Ratliff is still teaching ceramics and he teaches you everything you need to know and more. I'm taking ceramics in college and I seriously feel bored listening to the professor go on about things I already knew - that's how extensive his teaching goes. EC is also fun for it's guitar class, all kinds of choirs and fairly successful band classes. The only thing I hated was how unnecessarily strict they were when it came to certain things. I came from a MIDDLE SCHOOL of all places that allowed you to dye your hair any color you pleased, EC does not tolerate unnatural hair colors and will put you in Saturday school, which sucks. They were also much more strict with the dress codes. I felt like a child even at 18 for not being able to tdo something as simply dying my hair how I wanted. And if it seems like you're driving fast in the parking lot, they give you a speeding ticket issued by the highway patrol. I have friends who learned this the hard way who weren't even speeding. As far as the students, it was a great experience because EC wasn't one of those stereotypical "clique" schools. Sure I had weird hair, wore a studded belt and a band t-shirt, but I hung out with all kinds of kids who would probably be considered "preps", "jocks" or even "nerds." It also allowed me to make friends beyond the kids I went to middle or elementary school with which is great as well.

San Juan Unified's interest is money and not the students. They are desperate because their…read moreenrollment is low and students are leaving the district. The district hires and retains inexperienced, rude, unmotivated, privileged teachers set in their ways, racist staff, and have discriminatory practices. I am a parent of 4 students who attended schools in the district since 2008 and it has only gotten worse. My youngest is at Rio Americano and the culture is toxic and dysfunctional. His counselor Sydnee Butcher needs training and support as an academic guidance counselor. Doesn't surprise me being trained by Elizabeth Irwin. When Sydnee first appeared last year, she was very vocal about change and supporting students. She stated she once was a student there and her experience there allowed her to identify areas of improvement. My experience with her is that is far from the truth. Sydnee doesn't perform any research nor does she fact check. She just blindly regurgitates what Elizabeth feeds her. My son is in a unique position and has aspirations for which he has set goals. While trying to reach those goals, Sydnee and Elizabeth have only worked to hold him back with hard stops. They are not helpful at all. You would think your academic guidance counselor wants students to succeed and instead of delivering hard stops, they will use their discretion (they have levels of discretion) to find ways and create opportunities to support students success. If you are able to get your children into a different district. Please do so. You will not regret it. If you are not able, please listen to your children, the teachers and staff lack integrity.

I would leave zero stars if I could. I have always been proud to say I attended DD way back when…read moreand was so excited and proud for both of my daughters to follow in my footsteps. Unfortunately our experience with the principal has left me no choice but to make sure everyone is aware that DD and the district WILL NOT uphold their zero tolerance policy for bullying. My daughters have been bullied for the last 3 years by 1 girl. We've had many issues but this year has been the worst. Huge incident in October even involving the girls dad on an overnight field trip and the principal told me her plan which she never followed through on. She never once spoke to the dad and only asked my daughter to make sure she told an adult if she was having issues. We are now waiting over 1 month for a return call to either me or my daughters dad with no response so I finally escalated it to the district and this principal doesn't seem to care as they have called her 2 times 3 days apart and she hasn't responded to even them! I cannot believe this women is acting this way. If I had a choice I would take my kids out but I keep telling myself we will be done in 3 months and I can then choose another school probably outside of San Juan to insure that my kids are safe at school. It's our jobs as parents to keep them safe but it's the schools job to keep them safe while they are there and they have really dropped the ball!

It deserves commendation that this relatively small school has such committed staff and it was evident from the moment you walked into the ceremony. It was evident in their warm greeting as you entered through the doors, their effort to keep the focus on the kids and their families and to the plenty of security personnel present to keep an eye on things. While not a parent of a student (just an aunt) I was moved to write this review because this small staff has raised a large sum in scholarships to provide to their students. The staff is clearly bonded to the kids and it was touching. This year 8 kids rec'd scholarships including the munchkin I was supporting today. It's quite a phenomenal feat to raise these funds and this act shows genuine commitment to their students. Thank you Charter Choices for your commitment to the children.

My teacher, miss Prescott, is very caring and neat. She helps me with all my school work and let's us drink some hot chocolate or tea in class. She's always very happy and in good spirit but she's extremely smart. The other teachers are always on task and are very rewarding and respectful. The activities I've been doing are keeping me happy and occupied while learning life skills like how to clean, garden, cook and get a job. I have schizophrenia and dissociation disorder so it's hard to talk and interact with my anxiety but the school have been making my confidence go through the roof. I suffered with depression and alot of bad things that kept me locked in my room but after school I'm always excited and happy. Everyday at this school is a good day but be warned because the students are very troubled so you might want to talk to the teachers about that. 1000% would go there

I got sexual assaulted by another student on campus , with multiple teacher witnesses. guess what…read morethey did? absolutely nothing, they told the student I reported them which caused me so much bullying I had to switch schools. I attended here 2nd-7th grade. Do NOT enroll in this schools middle school, they have 3 teachers who have to teach 70 kids. They also do NOT know how to handle bullying at all, I was relentlessly bullied here, switching classes didn't do anything because of how tight knit every class is with each other. They also have a terrible special education curriculum. They know how to handle the kids but not teach them in ways thatll help growth. This is an OK school if you have a young kid but when you get to Upper El and above they get lazy and do care (grades 4-8th) and they also group up 4-6th graders in one class which makes teaching difficult as everyone receives the same kind of teachings.
