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.

Summit Senior High School has been a mixed relationship for me. I believe that it's teachers, facility, and overall sports are really good, but resources and food is lacking. Overall, they have counselours, but they don't really help all that much, and don't go out of there way. They have lots clubs and opportunities to show your culture.

overall a good experience. i have received a top tier education that has fully prepared me for college. the competitive environment in the school is detrimental to students' mental health and the school does not do enough to help with that. the majority of teachers are kind and qualified with very few exceptions.

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.

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.
