I liked the sense of community the high school brought to students. Most students grew up knowing one another from a young age. I wish that there was more diversity in staff and cultural understanding.

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.

The location of the school is great. Summit County is a lovely place to live. The school itself is a little old, but they have been remodeling and expanding it recently so it is improving. There is many academic opportunities to take advantage of.
