My children attended Summit for 6 years. They were both very good students at Summit - one of them even made straight A's for the 4 years she attended. When I moved them into Broken Arrow schools, both were severly behind. My 'straight A' student even struggled in BA and made B's & C's this last year.
... Read more Neither of my children were prepared for public school; both struggled all year and had to have a lot of tutoring to keep their heads above water. I was extremely disappointed that we were told by the prinicpal at Summit that Summit students were 1-2 years ahead of public. This is simply untrue. During our time at Summit I spoke with the female principal a few times about my concerns with the level of education at Summit. Everytime she assured me that they were ahead of public school. Again-this was not true! Read less

My 3 kids have gone to Summit for the past 8 years. We love the small school atmosphere and freedom to learn and talk about Christ daily! The elementary program is very strong. The teachers work hard to keep in close communication with the parents. The teachers and administration work closely with

In contrast to one of these reviews, Summit does NOT just take anyone. No, the school is not perfect. They have their share of worldly issues, it's how they are able to handle them that makes them different. They focus on Christ as the solution and constantly pray for God's direction for each child.

I have one child going into the 10th grade and another going into the 4th grade, both have gone to Summit since Pre-school w/ SMLC . Every school year on the first day of school I leave with an amazing feeling, confident that my children are in a wonderful, safe place. The school is not perfect by

I believe that w/ the enhancements of their sports program over the last few years, it has brought them to a level where they can get an excellent education in a good Christian environment but still give them the benifits that I believe strong sports and social programs bring to a school.

I agree 100% with the January 16, 2009 and October 2, 2008 reviews. My child moved to Summit many years ago and I should have transferred her out a long time ago. Summit was a wonderful school when Dr. Nelson was in charge. The troublemakers that are there now would not have lasted one semester with

The students were taught to think for themselves and encouraged to speak their opinions but now there is only one opinion and the students are suppose to agree like empty headed robots. Tuition is raised every year and the standard of education falls every year. I would not recommend Summit to any parent. Read less

Don't even think about it. Substandard defines the curriculum, the teachers, and the facility. The best thing about the school is the staff in the highschool office.

Summit was a great Christian School and safe place for your child to attend. The elementary teachers for the most part are the best in the teaching field. However the Middle and High School lack a lot of everything. All they are interested in is sports and the education and God are not important.
... Read more This was not the case when I took my son to Summit. I'm very disappointed in the leadership of this school. They are not very friendly and avoid having to communicate with you. Students are allowed in no matter if they have been kicked out of another school or not. This was not the case a few years ago. So if you are wanting to pay for a small school atomsphere this maybe the place for your children. Just know that drugs, bad language and sex are all over it. Read less
