We moved to Frankfort for the schools and we weren't disappointed. Had we limited our school search based on GreatSchools reviews, we may have been led astray. I recommend all parents to check out illinoisreportcard for school rankings based on real factors, like test scores, performance scores, student and teacher retention, student and teacher demographics and other quantifiable metrics. My child requires some special education assistance. This school is fully equipped with teachers who are highly trained, loving and patient. This cultivates a safe environment for the kids to have the best learning environment and to build friendships. The front office is VERY organized and warm and the school is very protective of its students safety. The winter school program goes off without a hitch. The music teacher is fantastic and encourages a love for music by being enthusiastic himself. You can tell he loves his job (like many off the other teachers we've encountered). This may seem minor, but as a parent who works full time, I appreciate that this program starts and ends on time.Thank you to all the teachers and staff who spend their days teaching and showing love to my child. You are appreciated.

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 child went to this school for 5th grade and was put in the wrong class for English. She was also bullied all 5th grade by same person, and I was unaware until my child finally reported the bullying to me. I made the school aware and asked them to help with the problem. There solution was to keep the two kids in different classes, however today it all began again while my child was in the lunchroom with the other child. This child threw food and made harassing comments at my child and her friend. I called the school and reported this to them. They are looking into the problem. I am sorry but you do not have a solution or plan in place for bullying?? Then you allow children to continue to bully and do nothing about it, shame on you school!! This is unacceptable and I would not recommend this school unless you are okay with your child being bullied.

This is an incredible school packed with a variety of learning opportunities, an abundance of clubs, and fantastic teachers. My son is thriving here and we feel lucky to be a part of this community.
