Summit Elementary

Summit Elementary is a public elementary school for kids in kindergarten through grade 5. It is part of the Riverside Unified School District. The school is on a medium-sized campus and teaches kids basic skills like reading, math, and writing. The main goals of Summit Elementary are to get students involved, keep the classroom organized, and use teaching methods that work for everyone. The school serves a community that is mostly made up of people of color and people from different economic backgrounds.This affects how much it focuses on inclusive teaching and making sure all students can get help. The district uses its own curricula to teach, and there are extra resources to help students improve their reading and writing skills and get more involved in class. The amount of money each student gets is the same as what students in Riverside Unified School District and the rest of California get on average. This money pays for regular teaching materials and services for students. Summit Elementary is a safe and supportive place to learn, with a focus on basic academics and learning in the community. This lets students keep growing in both their personal and academic lives.

RUSD received a Gates Foundation grant (with partners USC and Great Minds) to enhance math instruction through research and professional development — a positive investment in curriculum and teaching quality
