I was supposed to graduate from here in 2022. I was being severely bullied by students and even some staff like security were outright rude, discriminatory, and unhelpful. Very few trusted adults in this building. My school counselor helped me drop out the day I turned 17 and while I was greatful then, I wish there were more adults that encouraged me to stay rather than sign off for me to leave without a diploma.

Unfortunately my children have to stay for 1 more year at this godforsaken school; this school and just the Cherry Creek District alone does not handle bullying appropriately. I have two children who have been bullied since fifth grade in the district and every single time they go to defend themselves, They are the ones that are reprimanded when the bully gets a slap on the wrist and gets to enjoy going to school without any consequences, whereas my children get suspended or have referrals, the admin at the school 100% terrible because again they like to ignore the big problem and sweet things under the rug for image. If you can avoid sending your kids to school here I highly recommend to seek elsewhere because know that your child will be treated inappropriately and without empathy if bullying happens to your child.

For the most part Summit does a good job. It's a little hit & miss with teachers from year to year, but I've one child graduate from Summit and another in 3rd grade and we've never had a bad teacher. Some teachers are just a better match for your student than others. However, I'm knocking off a star because the school's recess policies are ridiculous. Way too much supervision and way too much restriction on the activities. When I went to school we just went and played at recess with no supervision unless we did something to warrant it. Now they have teacher aides watching over the kids at recess and the children are very restricted in what they can or can't do. My kid literally cannot run around at recess? They can't play competitive games? No tag?
