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.

Skyline HighSchool is a good school, the academics and resources are the best. I've gotten so much help since I was at Skyline, I finally felt like I was being seen. Even though today September 5th, 2023 we had a school shooting alert or threat. It was stressful but Skyline Teachers made sure we were safe. Skyline is still a good school and has some good teachers in it that actually care and are not biased.
