Summit exhibits all the positive traits of a great management company. They care about the students, staff, and communities they work with, and are open enough to have critical conversations with stakeholders — including their authorizer.

I trust Travis. As a charter school leader, trust is hard, especially after difficult experiences with previous management organizations. Every step of the way, Travis and the Summit team encouraged and reassured me.

Summit’s finance team does incredible work — clear budgets, monthly financial reviews with our Board, and quick responses to questions. It has been night and day versus how our previous management company handled finances.
