Summit is an established suburban community in Union County with a remarkable diversity of residents, located 25 miles west of New York City along the NJ Transit rail line, and minutes from Newark International Airport and major highways. A thriving downtown features some of the best dining, shopping, and cultural facilities in New Jersey.
At the heart of Summit’s fine offerings is the city’s public school system.

Johnson Summit Middle School and Summit High School.
Home of the Hilltoppers, Summit Public Schools is a premier district built on the pillars of academics, arts, athletics, and community service. Summit Public Schools is continuously ranked as one of the top public school districts in New Jersey (Niche, US News and World Report).
