Summer Fields School

Profile The Guide  /  Updated May 2026

Reviews

  • Reviews are mixed and now show up across Justdial, SchoolMyKids, UniApply and Reddit. Parents and ex-students do not agree on the school's direction.
  • A flashpoint sits with leadership. One Justdial reviewer wrote that the school "used to be a great school for a low price until the new principal showed up which ruined the whole school and definitely reduced most of our activities and outdoor periods." Several other reviews echo the same complaint.
  • A May 2023 incident drew protests at the gate. The school barred Class 9 to 12 students who had taken days off between 8 and 10 May from sitting a unit test, citing discipline; police were called and the test was rescheduled after parents objected.
  • Teaching staff still attract praise. Multiple parents describe teachers as caring, hard-working and responsive, and the long-running reputation of the campus carries weight with families who have been there for years.
  • Ex-student sentiment is sharper. One ex-student in r/gurgaon advised "stay away from Summer Fields School in DLF," though the commenters conflate the Kailash Colony and Gurgaon DLF campuses, which are separate.
  • Aggregate scores sit in the middle. Justdial averages 3.9 across 534 reviews; SchoolMyKids reports 3.7. The pattern is solid academic foundations and committed teachers, with leadership and discipline policy as the main flashpoints.

Positives

  • Teacher quality. Long-tenure parents describe teachers as hard-working, responsible and caring.

Considerations

  • Principal and direction under new leadership. Multiple parents on Justdial and SchoolMyKids say the new principal cut activities and outdoor periods and changed the feel of the school.
  • May 2023 exam ban incident. Class 9 to 12 students who took 8 to 10 May off were barred from a unit test; police were called when parents protested at the gate and the test was rescheduled.
  • Ex-student reputation. commenters from ex-students are dismissive but also conflate the Kailash Colony school with the separate DLF Gurgaon campus.
