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 High School is overall a very friendly place and the teachers are especially helpful and knowledgeable. Theater, debate, and sports are what the high school is best at.

I loved all of my teachers, although I did have a few teachers who weren't the best at teaching they were amazingly helpful and friendly. The diversity is not very much the students are accepting and if you are nice it is easy to make friends. There is so much opportunity no matter what you are interested in.

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.
