Send your kids anywhere but here. The administration is absolutely terrible, the academics are subpar, and the extracurricular choices are minimal.

This school is great. I'm in this school. Love it! This school has great teachers, great learning, everything is great, except, the nurse. One day, I was throwing up in the bathroom, and went to the nurse, she came to me, and said, you just making a excuse to get a longer break? And i said no, then she walked me to my parents asked me again, and i said no I'm actually sick, and she rolled her eyes. Soon as a got outside, i threw up again. Went home and by the end of the day i threw up 6 times. Rather then the health department, its great! Principle is great, and not a lot of bullying. Also want to say, Ms. Wineinger, is AMAZING!!! You can trust her, and she is very nice. People tell her there crushes, ask for advice, and etc. She is like a school therapist. And she is great. She teaches math GREAT!

I'm a former student who went here from 5th to 8th grade. The pros are that I had some amazing teachers and if your kid is very involved in sports, especially football or basketball, Summit is a great place for sports. The cons, however, severely outweigh the cons. The staff turns a blind eye to the bullying and hate that takes place here. Especially if the student who is bullying others has parents who are big donors to the school and very involved in Summit. During middle school I had several friends who were gay/struggling with their sexuality and they got severely bullied and verbal abused by other students. Other students also got bullied because they weren't popular and didn't play sports. The teachers/ staff was well aware of that situation but didn't do anything to help. This is very ironic because Summit "prides" itself on exemplifying Christ's actions and character, but doesn't carry out supporting their students and ignores the bullying and hatefulness. Further, Summit doesn't offer much academics beyond the core material and gives the most attention to sports (for example they renovated the indoor gym floor at the middle school three times within one year). I hope the situation has improved at Summit since I initially left several years ago, but I would still not recommend this school.

i was a formal student at this school and i would not recommend got bullied since the 3rd grade and left in 8th grade. the learning does not make any sense what so ever. i had dated a girl ( i am a girl and i was going through a phase) in the 5th grade and the principle had sent me to her office and sent me home and never told my parents to be in the room with me. The principle is Mrs. Ashworth, please don't send your child here coming from a old student.

Bullying is not taken seriously at this school, teachers we encountered are mediocre at best using you tube to teach instead of teaching themselves. The leaders of this school allow the kids of the highest doners to get away with anything including bullying. We expected more advanced education experience, they push history and science to only 2 classes a week while electives and bible classes are daily. Don't waist your time or money with this school. Would have rated no stars if it was possible

We were recommended to Summit because there was a great IEP teacher there at the time who was excellent. She left and they never hired a new one. Bullying and hatefulness is strong at this school. They do nothing about it. If you’re in the in crowd, you can get away with nearly anything. Administration is not very approachable and will gossip about you. I would not recommend this school due to exclusion, bullying and administration! The best decision I made was removing my kids from this school.

My son attend SCA- we experienced rounds and rounds bullying. Teachers, principals, and other staff did nothing about it. I had reached out multiple times. The elementary principals grandson was one of the bullies and again no repercussions. When we submitted our letter of leaving, the only response from the principal was “We will have his things ready by end of day”. We heard from no one else. They also have no training in trauma. I would not recommend this school for any students or families that have foster or adoptive children. If you are considering this school for a LNH Scholarship for a child- I would not recommend this school.

This is the worst school I have ever been a part of as a parent and past teacher. I am ashamed to say that my children ever went there. Kids are bullied everyday and the school does nothing about it, but say, boys will be boys. Teachers will shove and touch parents and the staff let's them get away with this. My kids were targeted by a certain teacher there because she didn't like them and made sure they had a toxic learning environment, yelled at them daily, and made them extremely uncomfortable. We had threats made against us by the staff. They discriminated against us because of who we are and how we live our life. The education is behind public schools. We switched them to a public school and they had to play catch up because of Summit's curriculum. The administration is rude and talks down to you and over you, so you will never be heard. Since I have pulled my children from that "school", they are happy, they don't come home crying because of how the staff and teachers treat them. I no longer hear about bullying, because public schools take care of a bullying issue.You couldn't pay me to send my children to that school. If you choose this school, I just wanted this out here of how they treat people. We were constantly harassed, targeted, made to feel unwelcome, and forced out. My children were also straight A kids who never caused trouble. We were warned to leave earlier and should have listened.I have heard through other sources of misconduct that I dont feel comfortable putting on here. Please please do your research before going to this school. It is not what you think it is.This school will also not give your child an IEP. They lost the teacher who did those and chose never to rehire one. Your needs will not be met here.

We love Summit Christian Academy. Both of my kids graduated from Summit Christian Academy. They loved being a part of a school that had smaller class sizes, teachers that cared and encouraged them, the ability to play multiple sports, and be involved in other school activities as well. The both attended SCA in elementary, middle, and high school. Summit prepared them both for college with many Advanced and AP classes during their high school years. Summit was an amazing school for both of my children.

Slightly above average compared too public school and below average compared to other private schools. I have one kid in public, 2 in this school and my youngest at another private school because I didn't want him to go here. If your looking at this school keep looking for alternatives. If its this school or public then I would probably put them in Summit.

I attended Summit for nine years and loved my time there! I had so many teachers who loved and cared about me. Because of Summit's size, I felt like I was truly known and given the opportunity to succeed. There was never a moment where I felt overlooked or invisible. I graduated from Summit with a 4.2 GPA and scored a 31 on my ACT, and am currently attending a local university, where I'm graduating a year early because of the AP credit I earned at Summit.

I was a student at Summit for quite a while until I graduated there. The high school principal is absolutely amazing, he genuinely cares about students. I had some of the most amazing teachers, only had issues with the female elementary principal, she is horrible. She is very biased when it comes to students, she picks favorites, and she is very rude to those that don't meet her "appearance standards"(which is the nicest way I can put it). Plus she has ran off many wonderful families. Because of her I WILL NOT send my child to Summit while they are in elementary school, unless she leaves. I think it speaks volumes when the majority of the pastors at the church do not send their children there. On the other hand the sports are kind of hit or miss. The boys athletics tend to be decent but the girls sports usually have very little talent. As far as a Biblical structure, Summit does pretty good, the chapel services are good, back when I was in high school the actual Bible class was lacking, hopefully that has changed. Summit has great potential but lacks in major areas. I give it four stars because of the impact my teachers had on my life.

I've watched Summit Christian Academy grow over the past 12 years. They have weathered some growing pains and have established themselves as a great private school. The staff is highly competent and the leadership is stable and dedicated to the success of each student and faculty member. If you are looking for an alternative to public education, I recommend that you take the tour at SCA to learn more. It's a great place for children to learn and grow.

My daughter just finished her first year at SCA as a Kindergartner. We have been very happy with our decision to send her to this school. They have a great program academically and start teaching reading skills at the start of the Kindergarten year (not all schools do). They continually challenge students who excel in different areas, as well as continually work with students who struggle in different areas. They teach moral/ethical Christian values that are often lost in our society today. I find it very refreshing that these values are taught and expected to be upheld. The teacher/child ratio is low, as it should be, allowing teachers to focus on each child. In addition to all the above they also offer several team sports options keeping the traditional school spirit alive. I will continue to recommend this school to everyone looking for a great educational experience for their children.
