I was a student during the 2022-2023 school year. Summit hill gives a good education I guess but is just like Lincoln way east. If you’re not a sporty student on one of the school sports teams then you’re looked over as a literal human being. The staff tend to favor athletes and give them better recognition than just regular students. I felt like they didn’t give enough recognition to other racial groups for important months/days out of the year either. Not only that but they doubled how strict they are with work and assignments and now they put students in a room called study hall if you didnt turn in an assignment. They put you in there without the students or the parent’s permisssion where you eat and do work at the same time, and sometimes wouldnt let you talk quite at all. Quite frustrating to try to eat and enjoy your food and do work at the same time. If they see you eating for too long they tell you to get back on task when a childs lunch should be the time to eat, socialize, and take a mental break. They didnt care about how you or your parent felt about that. The teachers weren’t supportive to the students about their mental health, it doesn't matter if your freaking dog died...they will get in a group and gossip about you and the one assignment you didn’t do in the hallway inappropriately. Lastly summit hill gives students ONLY 3 MINUTES TO GET TO CLASS. That is way to short for students that cant even carry a bookbag unless they are injured. It was terrible trying to get to class with a filled hallway to try to find your locker, open it, rush and think about everything you need for the next class then try to rush to your classes no matter how far they were and the teachers didnt give a care they just marked you tardy.

My son has gone to Rogus for 3 years now. PreK, Kindergarten, and 1st grade were all great experiences considering every year was affected by the pandemic. We will be moving to a new district this summer and I am sad to end his time here. I can only hope the staff at his new schools are as wonderful as the team at Rogus.

In terms of safety, a healthy learning environment, kids per classroom and teachers that care this school is amazing. Your child will be safe, the teachers care, commutation is fantastic. As an educator myself, I have high standards when it comes to ELA. I was very disappointed that the books chosen to read for 6th grade this year were all the same as previous years(Percy Jackson, Flush and Refugee)the content is rich however the the perspective is from all white male authors. I don’t think is good to only get one perspective all year. Also not all books have a graphic novel associated with them except Percy Jackson and the lightening Thief, which should be standard for students who have reading challenges and comprehension problems, graphic novels are extremely helpful. I did express this concern to the principal and the curriculum coordinator who were very receptive. Hopefully in the next year we move of a variety of literature. I would highly recommend this school, the students are wonderful and the staff is amazing.

I would have to say that it is very overcrowded and often most of the teachers do not care about you as people, some are the best teachers ever.
