SUMMIT HIGH SCHOOL

Summit High School is a public high school that is part of the Teton County School District #1 school district, located in Jackson, WY with about 47 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 7 teachers, Summit High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 6:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The school is designed to provide a flexible and supportive learning environment for students who may benefit from a non-traditional educational setting. By maintaining smaller class sizes and fostering close relationships between students and faculty, Summit focuses on personalized instruction that helps students overcome academic or personal challenges while staying on track toward graduation.

The school’s curriculum is aligned with the district's standards but is delivered through a model that emphasizes student agency, social-emotional growth, and practical skill-building. Beyond academics, Summit High School prioritizes a tight-knit community culture that promotes resilience, self-advocacy, and post-secondary readiness.
