NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school blew me away! Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. I have a 6 year old future rocket scienctist and a 4 year old in the special ed program at Wilson. My oldest has learned to read in a short few months...I hear things like this in the car now, "mom, does that say 'Bank of America'?" Wow. I remember in 2nd grade learing "cat, mat, sat"...but my K student has learned so much. My younger child in the Special Ed program has improved leaps and bounds. The only thing I can say about this school is that they do things right. I would not change a thing. The principle is wonderful, caring, engaged, a true asset to the school. A great place to go to school.Parent Review14y ago - Summit Sr High School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI think this school is fantastic and that the greatschools.com rating is misleading. Sports and coaches here are top notch. If you’re looking for really good academics along with excellent sports, this is your school. They consistently send students to top tier college programs for DIV I in a range of sports and are consistently competing for the Tournament of Champions in boys and girls sports.Other Review6y ago - L C Johnson Summit Middle School
