This School’s Reviews

4.0 Senior

3/22/2025

The best part of my experience was all the different clubs available at my school. I was able to join a couple different clubs which helped prepare me for my career goals and meet similar minded people. The worst parts of my experience was the lack of diversity in the school, leading me to feel less connected with my peers.

Sumner High School is a great school. The students have a variety of clubs and sports activities to choose from, or they have the opportunity to create their own clubs. Some teachers are very supportive if students have questions, but they could improve on extra help students may need in academics. I love the small town feel of going to Sumner High School. I feel safe and part of a great high school experience.

While I know that they have been renovating the school since I've been there, overall I think that there is a hierarchy at the school and lots of fake programs to help encourage "kindness." It's difficult for anyone who isn't white to attend the school and feel welcome.

Great school. My child was able to go to college and get her CNA at 16 so it’s a win for us.
