My child has gone to The Summit Preparatory School for the last two years. He has been welcomed with open arms by staff from the beginning. He absolutely loves his teachers. I have felt included in his academic progress, both in achievements and needed areas of improvement. I feel the staff goes above and beyond to make it a fun and engaging learning environment. I have overall been happy with our experience.

The staff and teachers are phenomenal! Such a close group of facility and parents. Great community. Love everything about the school. Our kids have never been to another school and don't want to go to another school in of the teachers.

Our family has attended The Summit school for the past 4 years. We wanted a smaller school with more attention given to students & their individual needs. The classes are tight-knit, as they move up to the next grade together. The faculty & staff are beyond knowledgeable, kind & are always going the extra mile for Summit families. I would highly recommend this school for anyone seeking a special place for their child to grow through high-level learning, diverse experiences & daily community building.

As a former student at the Summit, I would not recommend this school to others. I left Summit recently due to severe social, emotional, and academic deficits. Chaos was an everyday affair, and students would yell and throw things while teachers tried to teach. This disrupted my education and even pu...

My daughter is thriving at the Summit. We have been through public school (both online and seated) as well as helping to start a small micro-school in Springfield, but neither fit well with what my daughter needed and what we desired for her, a mix of independence with support and access to arts and...

Our children have attended this school for over seven years and we love it. We have found the school to be very responsive to their needs. We have unfortunately been there long enough to see families be asked not to return. This leads to resentment from those families, which is understandable. Overa...
