GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Summit academy was a great school. I started in 6th grade and graduated from Summit in may of 2023. This school has people who understand you and are there for you when you need someone to talk with or just hang out with. Many of the teachers make learning fun and easy the staff is great you can talk to whoever whenever. Summit was a great school to graduate from I will miss this school.
