Summit High School is a public high school located in Bend, Oregon, United States.
Summit High School was the third traditional high school built in Bend, with construction completed in 2001. It joined Mountain View High School, which opened in 1979,Bend High School which opened in 1904, and Marshall High School, a magnet high school also located in Bend.
As of the 2014-15 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,513 students and 55.5 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 27.3:1. There were 297 students (19.6% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 45 (3.0% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
In September 2007, the freshman class had about 320 students, a significant increase over the school's other classes, which had fewer than 300 each. The school hired more teachers to keep the numbers of students in each classroom below 30.
In 2008, 86% of the school's seniors received a high school diploma. Of 319 students, 273 graduated, 39 dropped out, four received a modified diploma, and three remained in high school in 2009.
Summit High School is located on a 48-acre (190,000 m2) site that includes 30 acres (120,000 m2) of solid ground amid an area which had been mined for pumice since the 1940s (by 1998 the mining had stopped and the land was sold). Another 18 acres (73,000 m2) over a former pumice mine were later bought for athletic fields. Rather than renovate the land so that it would remain stable, the school district decided to fix any problems as they arose. Construction was finished on the campus in 2001, with a total cost of $29.3 million. After a December 2005 storm, the football field became riddled with sinkholes, requiring expensive fixes before it was again usable. Additional storm damage occurred in classrooms, the gym, parking lots, and the theater. At the start of the 08-09 year, Summit had finished its new field and turf stadium due in large part to a grant provided by Drew Bledsoe, ex NFL Quarterback and current Offensive Coordinator for the Storm football team.
