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.

I really loved the way that this school is small which means that everyone knows each other. Everyone here is nice and there are no problems whatsoever.

I really liked summit! At the time it was a small school and everyone knew each other. That was something I liked because we were then able to make close connections with the staff.

Something that I loved about Summit Charter Collegiate is that the staff are always getting involved. They help you si much on whatever the situation may be. They try to make themselves reachable for student who may need help with either at home problems, school advising, even getting you college ready.

This school is amazing! They have great teachers that care about the kids. SCA has always so many fun activities (spookfest and multicultural festival). SCCA has a great Odyssey of the Mind program which is very encouraging. The music program is very good.

It's very frustrating as a parent, to have the information on this site be over a year old. This school seemed like it was going places, but the teachers are leaving in droves and they have a new principal every year. Why is it that they cannot find someone capable who will be committed to guide the...
