"Academically this is a great school, it could be better if there were more teachers like Mrs. Fox, Mrs. Pace, Mrs. Feehan, Perry, Eckmann, Carey & McGuiness. The Vice Principal is a disciplinarian but also very loving with the kids and kids respect him and love him alot, he is great with the kids and we are very pleased to have someone like him in the school. I have no complains with their staff. My only 2 complains: 1) is the effort that parent put on their kids. I volunteer in classrooms and it is amazing how behind some kids falling and weeks of homework not return. Summerwind has a small PTA group but they are very united. 2)The school has no or very little playground but to my understanding their PTA is working on funding a new playground for the kids which it says alot about their dedication to the kids, they are a small group and parents are not involved with their child's school, so those ladies have a tough road ahead."

"Summerwind really tries its best. The problem they have is two-fold. 1) As with most public schools today, they as overcrowded and underfunded. 2) A large percentage of their students/parents lack preparation/motivation or both. As a classroom volunteer, I see firsthand many students who come to school without knowing the very basic essentials that they need for learning (ie: knowing ABCs and counting to 10). These same students are the ones that bring back seemingly untouched homework packets week after week. My son has been very lucky to have loving, dedicated teachers here (Mr Sinclair in K and Mrs Wynkoop in first). But they are only one person and often most of their energy and attention is spent on the failing stundents whose parents are unwilling to put in the time. So ultimately, it is the prepared students (and their own) and the school as a whole who suffer for the negligence of these parents."

"I'm sure Summerwind isn't the worst school in the Palmdale School District however, if there were more caring, loving teachers like Ms. Pace there it would be so much better. Summerwind needs to consider more learning strategies for children with learnind disabilities."
