Good school overall - strong sports and arts programs, good college support and prep, large enough population with plenty of subgroups to switch between if you get bored/cast out of one. Lots of languages and language levels to choose from and the honors/AP programs are well developed.
However, the STEM clubs and hands-on aspects of the STEM fields are very lacking in funding, advisors, and participation (or non-existent). Expect to have to pull the entire weight of the club funding, as we had to do with the robotics and chess clubs.
The administrators are hardasses sometimes and don't understand humor or teen culture well, they take things too seriously sometimes.
If you are new to the district and you haven't been in Summit for a while, you'll feel like an outcast a lot of times. It's definitely a community of rich kids who've grown up together for generations. Coming from a poorer immigrant background, you'll notice the difference quickly and so will they.
No regrets though.

Summit High school has done an amazing job preparing me with for my future. The education system has always pushed me to do my best and help prove to myself that I can always be greater. If you are willing to look for it you'll find that there are a lot of brilliant staff members that will support you in your journey. On top of the amazing resources that the school provides, it is very aware and caring of the students well being. For example, during the pandemic the administration as a whole have been very involved in the students mental health. They constantly send emails regarding contact information for people who can help, they take surveys in order to hear from the students and stay updated, they have also done a great job at not overloading the class schedules. Over all they have been an active part of our lives as we move through this change.
I very much enjoyed my time at Summit Senior High School. It's a place where you grow and learn to step outside your boundaries, whether you're ready or not. They push you to achieve your full potential, to strive for greatness in your future endeavors. The administration and staff do care a lot for their students, and always try to make the learning environment as comfortable as possible. They will push you, and the work load isn't light, but through all of that you will be able to obtain the skills if/when you decide to pursue a higher level of education. The classrooms are kept mostly clean, and the building is in very good shape. There's always renovations, whether it be inside of the building or outside on the field. I never felt anxious or nervous about coming into school every morning. The teachers leave it entirely up to you about getting work done. It basically teaches you to be responsible for yourself and not to procrastinate, which are VITAL tools for college.
