School Reviews

While no school is perfect, Summit Academy High School was an almost-perfect fit for our son. He had fantastic English, History, Science, Drama, and Business teachers, and the Summit Academy Debate Team earned first place in State during the years our teen participated! The Drama dept. also put on terrific productions and won awards at State. Our family also appreciated the leadership opportunities with NHS and Student Council. Administration encouraged students to be involved on campus and as community citizens of good character. In my judgement, the Math Dept. lacked adequate leadership, and the turnover for Math teachers was high. In fairness, some blame must be placed on Utah's changing Math curriculum requirements. (I hope Saxon Math has been re-instated.) I also wish I had obtained a Math tutor. However, with school mentoring, U. of Utah and BYU ACT test prep classes, plus a mean mom, our son eventually earned a 34 on his ACT with a perfect score on the Writing exam. WOW. He was awarded a full-ride college scholarship, for which we're grateful. Our son is now thriving in college. Thank you, Summit Academy!! I believe that it's a far better school than state tests scores would indicate.
