The facility itself is vastly superior in every aspect compared to the original building's state, and a much needed improvement when compared to the old school. The academics are fairly disappointing regarding the fact that some classes have resources others do not, leading to an imbalance within academics. Sumner is cool I like the people here. For the most part they make me happy :).

Some of the most memorable experiences I've had at this school were through high energy sports games and at school assemblies. The small class sizes and how close everyone is definitely makes the school unique. However, the education isn't superior, so if I had the chance to do it over I might attend a different.

School, preparing me and many others for college. I feel that my school has given me the tools to succeed in college. They have taught me how to write résumés, checks, and we even did a mock interview. All of this stuff will be useful in the real world, and even after college. I think my high school teachers academically got me ready for college, for the soul purpose of sucess.
