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.

The best part about summit is you'll build a good relationship with your community and it will be easy to make friends and you wouldn't feel ashamed to be yourself. The not so good part is some of the teachers can be not so nice and helpful, or you won't have a teacher for months or the whole school year just a sub and you might fail the class if they don't teach or help with anything. I wouldn't really like anything to change because nothing is we've just had to learn to count on each other and have each others backs at times.

Summit K2 is a pretty good school since all the work is on the computer. And you can take a test and if you fail you can always do it again. The work is all on computer and its called the Summit learning platform and It's a great system that has content assessment that which are tested for each subject like chemistry,algebra,english and spanish It's a well done and organized system which is somewhat easy if you actually do to pass.

It was a decent school where the teachers tried their best to help all the students in the class and the way the school system worked was easier for more independent students as myself.

Most of the students are exremely disinterested in the...

Smart, energetic, and dedicated teachers. Small class sizes. Tons of support (assistance with Chromebooks, home wifi setup). The Summit.org student interface helps kids see what assignments are due, whether they're on track, etc. My only concern is how overworked the teachers seem to be--there has b...

In middle school, my son missed, on average, one day a week due to anxiety and frustration around school and his ability to access education with his dyslexia and dysgraphia. At Summit, he is a straight-A student, loves school, and see's himself going to a good 4-year college.
