(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I do not agree with some rules of this school. For a Principal to tell a Parent, that they are not responsible for my child while in school should be shut down. And the Superindentent did not care when confronted. And also when a parent goes to check their child out from school. They should not be told NO! I don't care about the handbook. As a parent, I should have more authority over my child. Not this school. I have had nothing but problems with Sumner Hill. This is our first year here. The school is old and falling apart. And the workers in the office is very very rude! My child will not attend this school anymore. I would not recommend sending your child here if you want to be involved in your childs school. Because they don't care.

- My daughter is a freshman at Sumner Hill. My son went here four years ago. Both kids love it. The teachers are great and they are challenged and learning a lot. I'm so appreciative of the teachers in this school.
