Niche Grade
Skyway Park Elementary School is part of the Cheyenne Mountain School District, serving roughly 300 students between kindergarten through six grades. Cheyenne Mountain Schools’ history began in 1872 when families built a 144 square foot school house near Cheyenne Creek. Two years later, a larger school house was built. During this time, the school was designated a District #12 school. As more families settled into the area, additional structures were built to separate grade levels and accommodate student learning. Cheyenne Mountain School District became one of the top 100 school districts in the country by 2004. The school doesn’t offer bus service and implements a strict student drop off and pick up schedule, for the safety of your child. School begins promptly at 7:50 a.m. and parents are asked to drop students off no earlier than 7:40 a.m. The exception is if a child is attending breakfast around 7:30 a.m. Children must be picked up by 3:00 p.m. Aside from engaging general education, learners at Skyway are provided with multiple outdoor education during recess, physical education and outdoor learning. The school develops strong character via daily practice of the school’s principles and structured curriculum, including students with learning differences.

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 have had children in this school the last five years and have watched their joy of learning fade a little more each year. The key staff members who truly made the school what it was have moved on, and the once stable and welcoming front doors have become rotating. New teachers start every year, or...
