This is the only middle school in the area that offers the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Program which starts at Winston Churchill and continues at Mira Loma High School. My college children attended Churchill and my third one is currently this school by choice. The IB program here is an excellent preparation for high school regardless whether the student continues with the IB diploma program or not. The school is very inclusive and administration/teachers are excellent. Lots of communication to the parents/students and the teachers are very energized with our current principal.
I highly recommend this school. About half the school is enrolled in the IB program.
