It's a good school location wise. Everyone is really friendly with each other and we have a great sport teams. It's a school for mainly academic athletes but you can find a place where you still feel like you belong.

Summit High School, being a very high ranked school, is an amazing school. The school its self is very nice, and the staff is mostly amazing. There are a lot of issues with bullying and administration caring more about the presentation of the school than the students, and their health. Over all I would say that they created a very goof high school experience for me personally, but the dont make the available for every student attending.
