My family and I came from a different state and this was the school in our area! Extremely disappointed! Whole school is very disorganized! I don't think any of the staff is for the students! Last year I reported over and over about how my daughter was being mistreated and bullied by students and nothing was ever addressed! The school system in general is ran very poorly and is not for the children! Beyond disappointed with the 6th grade counselor and the way he communicates! Very confrontational in my opinion! If you have the option to pick a different school, I most certainly would.

Teachers here don't care if someone comes upset, they target you even more, most teachers have favorites and just pick on the students for funOverall I feel most teachers are very petty and offer little to no emotional support, some teachers can't control their classroom, allowing students to talk and be loud but pick on certain things, which make absolutely zero sense

When I went here, I was in the SIDI magnet program, all honors classes and in band. I was violently bullied and abused each day by the future gangs of America. They would steal my stuff and threaten me till I cried. The lunch room smelled like spoiled milk all the time and those who brought their own lunch were bullied by students and staff. I am not a very social person, nor am I large in size so this made me an easy target. I hate the fact that the students treated me different because I lacked pigment in my skin,(they told me outright that this was the reason) and this school will give you more mental problems than solitary confinement. When my mom told the guidance counselor about this bullying, all that was done was I was called to his office and he said just to keep doing what I was doing. It is impossible to stand up for yourself here because if you speak harshly to one, the whole gang will attack you later that day. Teachers show favoritism and there is now smoking and vaping in class and in the hallways. Bathrooms are beyond anything a human should use. My favorite teachers were the only ones that didn’t act racist towards me. Teachers would tell us what to put on our end of the year surveys so most of the positive reviews are fake. The website photos are not real either just so you know. I would not wish this treatment that is shown to all students who are slightly different, on even my worst enemy. There is a place for all of the people who go there.

the bathrooms are vile, to say the least. they smell like urine and are filthy. the lunches are disgusting, unhealthy, and sometimes unsanitary. because of that, some students don't even eat lunch. i myself have caught many gastrointestional diseases from eating school lunch. bullying is particurally a problem at this school, and goes unnoticed. teachers are constantly using obscene language, are absent, and being inappropiate. they also take a horribly long time to grade assginments. there are a lot of fights, acts of vandalism, acts of favoritism from teachers, and violence. the violence has gotten so bad that we now sometimes need to go through medal detectors. in addition to that, we have an extremely strict bathroom schedule, which is annoying because i now have to wait until i get home to use the bathroom. do not go to this school unless you have to.

I would not recommend this school to anyone's child, there's a lot of foolishness going on. Teachers have favorites, and curse and use profanity. The teachers don't do anything to help getting bullied and you will feel alone. Teachers at summit couldn't care less about mental health or kids getting picked on but when you stand up for yourself or express how you feel you get in trouble and will be misunderstood, when you really just need a teacher to make you feel like you belong there, not all teachers are bad, but most of them don't know what its like to feel exhausted and bullied every day, the school bathrooms are disgusting and are probably cleaned a few times a year. I hope this review was helpful, do not bring your child to this school

As a 7th grade student at Summit, I can say with confidence that this is probably one of the few schools I actually wouldn't want people to go to.With the amount of nasty food, drama, fights, staff, favoritism to other students, and other things like that, I'm surprised that no one broke under the pressure. Some of the male teachers and a bit of the female teachers are constantly near the opposite gender of students to the point where it's uncomfortable.constant students not passing a grade and having to repeat one, constant fights, horrible-looking bathrooms and food, and other horrible things that I can't describe. Just overall avoid this school as much as you possibly can. Back when I was in elementary school, I used to love school and wouldn't want to leave. Now, ever since middle school here, I feel like I'm never enough for anything or anyone. Some teachers there make me feel like they are there to make students lives a living hell.

honestly, you have to fit in to survive at this school. yes teachers do teach but only teachers who teach honor students or one who are in programs. some other teachers quit and others don´t even teach. the breakfast is alright though I can't say the same about lunch. and the people here are very aggressive and like to pick on kids by there size. weekly school fights happen and and many kids are sent to afterschool detention. and administrators are pretty aggressive even when you do the smallest things, some i can say overreact to much. honestly if you are small in size i prefer you don´t go to this school unless you make yourself pretty well known. and if you are that one kid who is anti social or doesn´t talk to that much people. you will get severely bullied. it takes looks, personality, wealth and social skills to survive at this school.

It's bad. There are many fights. Some students even say there are rats there. Do not go to this school you will probably get bullied and cussed at every single day.
