Summer Fields School, New Delhi

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.
