Overview
As of spring 2007, 507 students are in attendance at Churchill Heights. Of these, 213 (43%) are female and 289 (57%) are male. 319 (63%) have a primary language other than English, and 14% have been living in Canada for less than five years. Most students live in the western side of Toronto, while some of the students live on the eastern side of Toronto. Some students come by a car, while many others come by bus or walking. Bus tickets are given out, if the school recognizes that the place where some students live are farther than a standard (3.2 kilometers for grades 6 to 8). Child and Student tickets are given out. The school has been the home for Scarborough's gifted programme for exceptional students since 1971, when classes for gifted students were created, which made Churchill Heights a dual-track school. Churchill Heights is closely aligned with Woburn Collegiate Institute, as Churchill Heights is where the majority of the students in Woburn originate from, and there is therefore a strong partnership between the two schools. Some examples of the partnership of these two schools are the Robotics and PEG programs, which have Churchill Heights students participating on Woburn teams, and Woburn mentors helping Churchill teams.
