Over the past few years, Summit Public School K2's statewide ranking has declined, from 363 out of 2,133 California high schools in 2018-2019 (rated 4 stars) to 1,208 out of 2,323 in 2023-2024 (rated 2 stars), indicating a significant drop in the school's performance compared to other high schools in the state.

Summit Public School K2 has a 93.0% four-year graduation rate, which is higher than the state average, but also a concerning 3.5% dropout rate. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 40.7%, which may be a contributing factor to its overall performance.
When compared to nearby schools, Summit Public School K2 generally performs better than Richmond High and Greenwood Academy, which are also part of the West Contra Costa Unified School District. However, it lags behind the higher-performing schools in the area, such as El Cerrito High and Albany High. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 72.13% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and the increasing student-teacher ratio, from 15.4 in 2021-2022 to 20.3 in 2022-2023, may be contributing factors to the school's academic challenges.
