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.

Summertown was a decent school. You really needed to be involved in sports to have the best experience possible. Start of freshman year till beginning of junior year the administration was AMAZING! Now there could be a lot of work done to fix the overall experience. New administration would get a 5 star rating from me

Summertown High School is by far the best high school around. We have such a small population so therefore everyone knows everyone. We are more so a family! I love SHS!

It is a very small school but it still offers you big opportunities. I do wish there was more parent involvement and the kids cared more but over the past few years I have seen the kids caring more about being involved and making memories. I do wish they had more or better math teachers. The staff and most teachers are awesome. They can reach out to the students and be their friend while also holding an authoritative figure. They truly are making a difference even if it is one student at a time. While there is always room for improvement Summertown High School will always be dear to my heart.

To some shs may be a good school.But the school has flaws,such as,It's so little that they dont offer great education.Instead they focus on sports.Plus if you ever wanted to get involved in a sport,you had to be popular or a teacher's son or daughter.Otherwise,you're stuck with nothing.
