GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I had some doubts about Skyline, but overall it was a great experience. I would say the best part were days where we could dress up or when we had school prep rallies. The worst part would be how unorganized the school was when it came to important things, but they sorted everything out eventually.

Skyline is a great school to go to if you want your child to have a chance to improve in sports and academics. They value the success of all of their students and want to be ahead at all times . Allows for students to make a good opportunity great.

This school is very disorganized, the staff in the registration desks are extremely rude. If you want to see the effects of a lobotomy on a living being these would be the perfect people to observe. The best way to improve this school, or at least this department would to be to fire everyone behind...
