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 don't like Skyline really. It's a large public school but it feels like a private school. Teachers have commented on this too. The academics are great and it's a school with top IB scores and wonderful teachers. Very cutthroat competitive and I've seen people become suicidal over it. Drug problems too. Overall, plenty of resources, but it feels like you're in a stem prep school.

Skyline High School is an average school overall. While it offers a solid academic program and a variety of extracurricular activities, it can sometimes feel overcrowded. The school's performance is decent, but some students feel that the resources and support for certain programs could be better. It's not exceptional, but still provides a good education

Skyline is a decent high school. They offer only IB and not AP classes while most other schools in our district do AP or both. The teachers are hit and miss. I've had both good and bad. Classes, sports, and clubs are also hit and miss.

The only reason this school scores so high in academics is because it's located in a high income area, with tons of money, and parents / family who are culturally dedicated to higher education, support and push their students to excel academically. The school and teaching reap the benefits of being...

My daughter attended this school and experienced a lot of bullying and lack of support with addressing issues to stop or prevent future bullying. The teachers were great, but administration would ignore the situations and do their best to hide there were issues with bullying. Even after the girl rep...
