Summit High School

Have had a very bad experience with this school and its only my sons freshman year...bullies fill up this school...the kids dress like hood rats for the most part..my son has complained that the kids smell like smoke...I really wish I could take my kid out of this school...

My son has gone to summitt for the past four years. In the past year or two it has really gone down. It's obvious that a "certain" type of kid and parent attend this school, and it is really turned this school into the type of place you might not want to send your child. I have another son starting Summitt next year and from what my senior says about the kids and the classes, I really do not want to send him there at all. If you live in the attendance zone and can transfer out- DO. I do not think it will get any better, and if you do stay dont say I did not warn you.

My children constantly have to be subjected to teachers allowing children to attend class smelling like weed. Teachers don't really care about an education for the children. Just push the kids along whether they learn anything or not. These kids are our future leaders and they don't have a proper education. This is a very bad school. Constant food fights, fights in halls, inadequate restroom facilities. Unsanitary conditions. Staff has 'given up". The school lets the kids get away with too much. Do not send your child here.

Very disspointed with the teaching skills these teachers have. They are not concerned at all with teaching these kids, just passing them along in the system. Also, staff allowing children to boo a student the school sponsered for make a wish foundation. Also, at a pep rally for the young boy, the students were allowed to dance, act, and dress Inappropriately in front of this child. No staff member put a stop to this. boo a make a wish child that was at the school.

My older son graduated Summit this past May 06'... and my younger son is a freshman this yr. Honestly, we love it! Throughout the past years, when my older son attended, our experience was always a positive one. He was blessed w/ excellent & caring teachers... and the principal is super! Honestly, when we originally purchased our home in the MISD and we found out Summit was our home school, I was bombarded w/ different opinions(some good, some bad) as to what we should expect from Summit. Let me tell you... PLEASE do not believe speculation, rumors or gossip about this school. After experiencing Summit ourselves, I can now tell you... it's a wonderful school w/ a great staff, but most importantly, a super atmosphere for your child. I hope you enjoy Summit as much as we have in the past and as much as we will in the future.

Currently being a student at Summit High School, I have to say I'm real disappointed with it. I had to learn the hard way that this school is not the type of school you should send your child to. A few of the teachers I've had really did help me out, while a few others was completely opposite. I can't say that I'm impressed, I'm just completely disappointed with the quality with this school. The couselor I have really is helpful and she did help me out with a few of the problems I've been having. But, my assistant princible is a completely different matter. He completely ignored my request to see him. All in all, this school isn't one to go to.

My son began his high school years here. He will be entering his sophmore year. We moved from East arlington to be in MISD district.It has been harder academiclly but the teachers that he has had have been great in helping him catch up from his earlier years in a different district. Counselors and Administrators have all helped.
