The Summerville Union High School District showed continued improvement, though Principal Dave Urquhart is concerned their scores may be misunderstood.
Summerville High and the Connections Academy have separate APIs because one is a public school and the other is a charter school.

Summerville High students and Connections students are in the same classes together, taught by the same teachers.A realistic picture of improvement and growth would be a combination of the two scores.
