Skyline High School is one of six high schools in the Ann Arbor Public School District. Skyline is a recent addition to the district, built to help accommodate the growing student population in Ann Arbor. The school site within the Barton Plateau and Huron River Heights neighborhood has helped increase the number of high school students on the city’s northwest side. The school draws attention to its academics with its status as a magnet school and offers Advanced Placement classes that a large percentage of Skyline students annually enroll in. These classes range from computer science principles to macroeconomics.
Magnet School programming at Skyline attracts students from within and outside the district borders. These classes are designed to enhance student learning in career options and may also increase college admission prospects. Magnet courses of study at Skyline cover four distinct areas: biomedical science, design technology and engineering, business marketing and information technology and communication, media, and public policy.
The city of Ann Arbor and the public school district administration proudly advertise that a regarded economic organization has named Ann Arbor the "most educated" city in America. The quality of the local public schools is one of the factors used in making that determination. Skyline's graduation rate has repeatedly been significantly higher than the state average.

I believe the best parts are the diverse opportunities for many extracurriculars, and programs for students. Personally the worst experience would be the lack of diversity in this high school as a minority student. The biggest change I would like to make is eliminating the disparity that may come with the costs of certain programming on students especially lower income students.

I found the best parts of my experience to be when there was minimal administration involvement and there were activities and classes based off of what the student body wanted. The worst parts of my experiences were that I wasn't very ready for college and that the administration very rarely listened to the student body.

Skyline is a great public school in Ann Arbor. Most of the teachers I've had here are very smart, helpful, and kind. They really work hard to make sure students do well and get a good education. One thing I don't love is administration. At the beginning of 2024, a huge budgeting mistake was made, causing schools, teachers, and students throughout the district to suffer. It seems like admin is just a circus who can't do their jobs and waste public money on things like cruises, alcohol, and takeout food.

I've had 2 children graduate from Skyline thus far. They received an excellent education and were well prepared for college. They both have careers in STEM at this time. They both participated in Magnet Programs and those were very valuable to their learning experience. The majority of their high sc...

Worst experience ever in trying to enroll in this school and was so glad that it didn't work out for us to attend there! Emails or calls never returned, patronizing front office staff avoid if you can!
1/12/2016
I would give the school 2 1/2 stars if possible. As in, "pretty bad, but not hopeless." My child just began as a freshman this year. It's possible my assessment will change as time goes on, but my first impressions haven't been great. Your kid is just a number here. The teachers seem to barely know,...

Skyline's curriculum is like someone's dog ate their education psychology textbook and threw it up and tried to write a mission statement from the puke. They have trimesters, block schedules, school-within-a-school, mastery grading, and magnet programs, none of which they do well. As an educator I a...
