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 moved during Covid, so my experience was a bit harder. I do think Summit is very cliquey (if you didn't grow up here or start here during freshman year, it's harder to find friends), but you're able to find your people and Summit has amazing resources for education and college.

Through my 4 four years at Summit High School, there has been little to no complaints. The school is well funded, the food is above average, the class size is usually relatively small, and the sports and clubs involved with the school have shown that the teachers and coaches here are devoted to their students and athletes.

I have had my children in two public school systems and three private schools. Some of the best teachers I have encountered are at Summit High School. I wish I could get my tuition back from the private schools and send my kids to Summit.

It shows that our school taxes are spent wisely. My daughter would not be who she is today if it wasn't for her positive experience at Summit High.
