Summit is very competitive in both academics and athletics. Although I do feel very prepared for college and satisfied with my social experiences, I wish Summit High School offered more diversity and better math and science programs. All of the literature and writing teachers are top of the line and have very supportive, interactive, successful classes. However, the science classes seem underfunded and like they do no have the teachers or equipment to support and teach kids who love subjects like biology and chemistry. The same thing can be said for the math department, classes like Algebra and Statistics are not fulfilling at Summit. The teachers are very kind and helpful and do their best to help students succeed. Summit provides students with many job shadowing opportunities, extracurricular activities , sports, and clubs. It is a very well rounded school as far as academics, athletics, and music programs go.
I transferred to Summit High School from out of state for my sophomore year. In terms of activities, I have found that Summit has an abundance of school spirit and pride for athletics. Summit is an athletically driven institution. Clubs are numerous with a select few being heavily supported while others fall wayside. However, starting and joining clubs are easy. There is little to no diversity within the school population. The vast majority of students at Summit are white upper-class individuals. From my experience, differences are celebrated. However, students seem to have an entitled attitude and are somewhat standoffish. Academically, the courses offered are widespread with a varied course level. The teachers are devoted to their students and will work with the students to help them succeed. Before enrolling at Summit, I would carefully look at the demographics and academic rigor. There are two other high schools in the near vicinity that may be a better match compared to Summit .
I liked most of my teachers, they seemed like they really wanted me to not only succeed, but excel. They supported me and I made amazing friends through that school that I hope to keep for life; however, the school culture wasn't the best for people like me who weren't of upper middle class or just plain rich, along with the fact that, like most schools, there were flaws in the way that they dealt with students and which programs they put the most funding towards. I'd also say that since there are so many students in the school and so little staff, our college preparation program wasn't the best it could be, and I can say the same for our mental health COUNSELOR. We had only one for over a thousand students. These staff members tried their best, but there's only so much they could really do.
