Skyview School

I am very pleased with Skyview thus far. I have come from many changes of schools with various disappointments. Skyview is onto of things with the parents and has great communication that comes home from the students. Their curriculum is rigorous yet engaging. The kids are taught to be responsible human beings and seem to be respectful on campus towards teachers and other students. Low pressure among the kids and no drugs or fights.

waste of time and money..unless your child is a genius they will fall behind from attending when they leave to go to another better more structured setting...a joke school well past its prime

It's an excellent school! The school thrives because they have an incredible group of teachers and administrators devoted to their profession (2010-2011). I have traveled the country and visited many schools and I am truly amazed how Skyview School uses the multiple intelligences, project based curriculum, fieldtrips, and the arts to create a school environment where kids thrive academically and are becoming informed and productive citizens of the world. Their arts program is outstanding, the math program is top notch, and the celebrations are jaw dropping. They also focus so much on respect. I love how children from different grades are partnered together to build community. Not only that, parents are expected to be involved, which is unique in the area. It is truly a gem and I recommend it to all parents seeking a school where their child will love to learn and where you will feel welcomed to be involved. It's rare and I love it.

Skyview school lacks a very important component for partnering with parents - communication. Administration and teacher communication lacked openness and follow-through. We were very disappointed in our experience there.

Sending my child to Skyview School has been one of the best decisions I have ever made as a parent. My children are treated with respect and are taught to be responsible, contributing students. There are no tests or mass worksheets because, like life, the school is hands-on learning. My child did excellent on AIMS so there is no concern about falling behind academically but most importantly, my child is learning to be a caring, responsible person. I absolutely recommend the school for families who support the same values and ethics the school does.

Skyview has been the perfect school for our son Tyler. He has been at Skyview since the 6th grade and is now in 8th. The individual attention he gets and the feeling of family there is so good for him. If he were in the public school, he would be there with over 600 kids. The smaller setting meets his needs and their methods of teaching make sense to him.

Skyview was a wonderful school for me. Although I no longer attended it I was enrolled until the 6th grade, and started in the 1st. I loved my classes, and most of my teachers. The only problem I ve ever had with Skyview, was the pressure. For me as a student I felt pressured to be perfect. I had to be great at math and English. And when I didn t meet that standard I was considered a failure. I m not sure if that s how it is for every student at Skyview. But I know I m not the only one. Skyview is a wonderful school for children who can deal with pressure, and know how to handle themselves. It was wonderful for me for a time.

'Skyview is not for everyone' means if your child is not already exceptional and bright, forget it.

My son entered Skyview School from Miller Valley on the first day Skyview opened 7 years ago. This year he will graduate from the 8th grade. Test scores show that he is academically well prepared for high school, which is great, but that's not all. By being a part of Skyview's program for the past 7 years, my son has really grown to know himself. He is grounded in good values and self esteem. My family's involvement with Skyview has been life-changing and meaningful. We shall always hold Skyview School in our hearts.
