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 is a great school, loved every second of being here. I love how friendly and welcoming the teachers are, and how its super easy to use resources that are available to you in order to get what you need. The environment is super chill, and makes for a great learning place.

I went to Skyline during the new construction of the buildings before it was completed. I played basketball and got to play in the new gym during my Senior year, but the main building was a mess. It wasn't pleasant during my years there, but I think it has improved since I graduated. The new building is now open, but I didn't ever get to be in my classes there. I was in an old building and temporary buildings.

I have had a great high school experience at Skyline High in Salt Lake CIty UT. It is a public school and top notch academics and teachers who have supported my scholastic goals. I have taken 7 AP and 3 IB classes with teachers who have prepared me well for AP tests. As Utah is the least funded school system, there are a lot of gaps in the school experience - one large example is college prep and counselors. We have one college counselor for all 2,000 students and have the opportunity to meet with this person very infrequently.

When I first started coming to Skyline, I was disappointed. I couldn't believe it was ranked 3rd. I must disclaim this by saying my opinion may have been affected by my previous experience at a private school. Regardless of that, all the good intentions and hardworking nature that they say is a part...

My son, 2 nephews, and my niece attended Skyline. They all had an excellent experience. They took advantage of the many AP classes, and felt it helped them to transition to college. One of the things I like about Skyline is a lack of "gatekeeper" policies. Any student can take any AP or IB course if...

This was a difficult year made only more difficult by the lack of compassion and poor communication by a few faculty (psychology and world history faculty to be exact). Our daughter's 10th grade "remote" experience would have turned out differently - in a good way - if not for two "educators" who ca...
