skyline high school has been a great school for me and my friends to express ourselves. But with sports, they lack showing student involvement and favoritism, with the art program they do a great job with diversity and inclusion, but need to do better fundraising.

I have gone to skyline high school for the last two years, and it has been such a positive experience for me. I have had the chance to work with some of the most brilliant passionate teachers I've ever met, and many so many countless relationships with peers. Some of my fondest memories at SHS have been made playing basketball. The team is like a second family to me and I know if i'm ever going through a tough time or need help, I can count on my basketball girls to be by my side.

Overall, my experience has been good with nice teachers and great options for challenging course work. There have been issues with facilities and safety, and they have been worked on slowly throughout the years that I have been here, but they seemed to have gotten worse recently.

good school, very understated in the St. Vrain School district but they aren’t very involved with the student they mainly care if you learned what’s on the worksheet they give.

The teachers take a personal interest in their students and desire to see their students succeed. They will work with student individually to ensure they are not falling behind. Skyline emp...

Not too shabby. Good stem program. I've had a good three years here and it doesn't even compare to my previous high school which was a dump
