Summit Highschool was my second highschool that I went too. I transferred there too play football and get a better opportunity to get a full ride scholarship for football, so that way my parents didn't have to pay for college because they don't make enough money. But that wasn't the case I got a scholarship to University of Redlands but I still gotta pay 9,550 dollars out of pocket .So I'm filling out as many scholarships hoping to get enough to help me out with the cost.

Summit High School has been an amazing place for me to develop and better refine my skills in extracurriculars such as football as well as academically with classes such as Calculus. In the sports programs that took a chance on me although I was undersized and grately favored against and they turned me into a captain and granted me with the power to lead and show others it possible. I also fine tuned my abilities in the class room with classes such as Calculus 1/2 and 2/3 with amazing teachers who break down the curriculum and make it easy to understand. The only complaint that could come from this amazing school is a lack of facilities that make sports hard at times with some lack of experiences but the coaching makes up for it exponentially.

Overall, my experience at Summit High School has been positive. The students are very welcoming, friendly, and funny. There are amazing teachers that care about the well-being of their students and teach with passion. However, some admin at Summit High School are not great.

Overall this school isn’t all that bad.

I cannot go a single day without hearing something racist, ableist,...

ASB is great at getting kids involve. Teachers are easy to get a hold of either by way of email or in person. I see a lot of negative reviews on how students dress or how the school doesnt push the kids to learn.....well it is a public school which means that the teachers hands are tied, all they ca...
