I went here K-2 and It was HORRIBLE. They never taught/helped me how to read. i could BARELY read in the 3rd grade. And when I was in 2nd grade, for the math, we were only learning 1+10 ; 5+9 ; 7-3 ; then I switched schools in third grade and they were learning division and multiplication. Summit put me WAY behind in school. By the time I was in third grade (when I switched schools) I was learning at a first grade level. This school is good for people with special education. But other than that, its a horrible school. They put me soooo behind. And its also really boring and many teachers are really mean.

If you have a child w/ any type of special need, in my opinion Summit is prepared to handle them. My child has Asperger's Syndrome and our current school district said there was nothing they could do to help us. In there word, "We were better off enrolling our child with Summit." In our situation the school has offered and provided the tools for success. My child has excelled academically, but struggles w/ the social aspect. Everyday is a social challenge and kids can be cruel. That will happen anywhere. The school handles any problem that occurs. With our child it has been a wonderful, sometimes challenging experience. We definitely love the school.

I have 3 children enrolled at summit I am not satifed with the programs set in place to assist children that need help, the teachers a good but they cant seem to keep the good ones long the teachers aide are lazy and they are understaffed in that area. This is the 2nd new principal in the last 2 years she is not very personable and doesnt work well with students

As a parent of one recent graduate and a high school senior, I can say that Summit Academy has a highly dedicated staff, relevant curriculum and leans heavily toward technology. There is no better place for a child to learn.

We enrolled our daughter mid-way through the school year, when she was in 4th grade. She was enrolled at Barnes in Flat Rock. The district we live in was such a nightmare! Summit was a welcomed breath of fresh air! My daughter LOVES to go to school now. The teachers and staff at Summit are friendly, unlike the stuff at Barnes that give the cold shoulder as a standard. I have compared her homework to others in the same grade at Barnes, and they are learning the same things. Summit, unlike Barnes, still teaches math "old-school" instead of some hodge-podge new way that was "suppose" to make it easier. We can't wait for school to start!
