Summit High School

Summary:

Summit High School is a public high school located in Spring Hill, Tennessee, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,708 students. The school is part of the Williamson County School District, which is ranked 2nd out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Summit High School consistently ranks among the top high schools in Tennessee, ranking 36th out of 374 schools in the state for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's performance on state assessments is generally higher than the Williamson County and Tennessee state averages, particularly in English II and Algebra II. Summit High School's diverse student population, with 79.33% white, 3.98% African American, 9.43% Hispanic, and 2.4% Asian students, is higher than some nearby schools like Ravenwood High School and Fred J. Page High School, which have higher percentages of white students.

Summit High School's strong performance across different student subgroups, including traditionally underserved populations, is a notable strength, indicating that the school is effectively meeting the needs of all its students. However, the school's relatively lower performance for gifted and talented students suggests that it may need to explore ways to better challenge and support these high-achieving students. When compared to other high-performing schools in the Williamson County district, such as Independence High School, Summit High School maintains a competitive edge in many academic areas, demonstrating its reputation as one of the top high schools in Tennessee.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
