Skyview is an amazing school that has helped me so much with academics and personal issues and I'm proud to go here.

Great experience until Papa John's was no longer allowed to come up and sell $1 slices to students from a shady car on the side of the road. After that I was forced to enter the lunch time street races to try and get a $3 pizza hut combo to fill my belly and fuel my eager mind. Alas, my belly stayed empty and my mind drifted off since I just wasn't fast enough and Pizza Hut refused to make more personal pan pizzas for the students after they ran out. My life has a been a downward spiral ever since, all because Skyview forbid Papa John's from selling $1 slices on the side of the road.

If your child is average or needs extra help or encouragement, this school is awful. We have had a couple of great teachers,...
