“The school is the strength of the society.”
“The school is a development agent for the community.”
The school “shines the community.”
The school “makes our children dream differently.”
The school is “a daily bread that feeds our kids brain and a pride for their future.”
“If there is no school, there is no future for our kids, either.”
The school is “educating people who solve the problems of the country and the community.”

Summits schools were particularly credited with improving student attitudes and behaviours in addition to performing the academic functions of increasing knowledge and career preparation. They were referred to as "bank accounts" that are helping communities to prepare for their futures through investments . Even if the students left to finish school elsewhere, it was thought they would be likely to return and work in the area.
The schools also benefit the communities by employing teachers who would otherwise be without jobs and income. This is indicative of the sense that the schools are key players in a virtuous cycle for communities. By benefiting students, families, teachers, and other stakeholders, those individuals develop the skills and stability to help others, thereby perpetuating an ongoing process of community development.
Coupled with these strong feelings about the importance of the schools, participants expressed a deep sense of ownership of the schools. This reinforces the centrality of the schools to the communities, and is also a credit to the manner in which the schools were developed and the methods used to generate community engagement. Because of the sense that the schools belong to the communities, the teachers, parents, and other focus group participants all expressed willingness to volunteer to help the schools in any way that they could.
