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.

At skyview, there is very little diversity and cultural acceptance. This is in large part due to Montana as a whole consisting of over 80% people of caucasian decent.

It offers a lot more opportunity than smaller schools in the surrounding areas.
