The verified record
Summit Middle School is a public school in School District 43 serving grades 6-8. It stands at 1450 Parkway Blvd in Coquitlam, postal code V3E 3L2, and the office line is 604-944-8273. The principal is Bill Trask, and the province lists the school under code 04343114.

The pathway
Students here promote to gleneagle Secondary, Pinetree Secondary.
The elementary catchment and the middle catchment are drawn separately. A house can sit comfortably inside one and fall on the far side of the other, which is the single most common thing families get wrong when they buy on a school.
If the later years matter to you as much as the early ones, check every boundary for the exact address through SD43's locator while your subjects are still in place, not after they are removed.
The catchment on the ground
The catchment covers upper Westwood Plateau and parts of Burke Mountain — Parkway Boulevard area.
The housing inside that footprint is not uniform, and compressing it into a paragraph here would do it no favours — nor would it help to repeat what is already written elsewhere on this site. For the streets, the stock and the price bands, read upper eagle ridge coquitlam guide.
Addresses near a boundary should always be confirmed through the SD43 locator before you rely on them. Boundaries move, and they do not follow the lines people assume from a map.

Ministry of Education's Student Success database rather than a directory copy.
