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.

this school gets glazed way too much. I go here and I'm honestly shocked to see that Atlas is the #1 charter middle school in the state cause, in my opinion, it's pretty crappy, the food is pretty mid, the teachers get on your nerves all the time, and sometimes are really annoying and the majority of the school is on the stupid Chromebooks. I used to love all the subjects in my old school but here I've genuinely given up on my grades because of how crappy the system is. we don't get taught the traditional way, instead, it's all computers computers computers. Classes feel endless and because all we do is sit on our laptops, you can get back pain neck pain, etc. I didn't want to come to this school but I had no choice and I wish I could go back to Denny middle school.

The best part about Summit is everyone knew everyone. Seniors were friends with freshmen, teachers even knew students they didn't have in their class. It was a safe environment and made the students feel comfortable. The work was hard but there was always help when needed from peers or staff. The school doesn't have a gym, music programs, or any club that involves activities. When I went to Summit I had to give up the cello because they had no instruments or music rooms.

Summit Atlas met each of my children where they were uniquely at— both from an academic standpoint and a social emotional standpoint. Throughout ours years at this school, so many invested staff took the time and energy to really know my children, and help address their needs as they changed. As a p...

Summit Atlas has been great for our son. Started in 8th grade, now in 10th and have had great teachers. The expeditions are a fantastic way for kids to explore different career options and skill development. Good spot for kids who might get a little lost or pushed aside academically or socially in a...
