Skyline is awesome. The principal is caring and loves children. The teachers are some of the best ever. The principal doesn't receive any money for test scores, nor does she weed out students. Someone needs to check their information. My granddaughter goes to Skyline and my grandson will go here as well. We are loving this school!
As new parent, I thought my kids would have been discriminated against already, given thats all I heard from others in the district. That notion is FALSE. I love it! My kids love it! They can handle all situations and the all the teachers know my kids not just their grade-level. Can we move 7th and 8th to Skyline too?
Awesome! Makes learning easy to do in an era that complicates schools with violence and drug use.
I can not say enough about the principal or staff of Skyline North. Even with all the changes this year, you can see that they are trying to help all students learn and be happy.
The principal at Skyline has never weeded out any students. She does not get a single penny for test scores. No principal gets a monetary bonus of any kind for test scores, someone needs to do their homework and know of what they speak. Further, the principal loves children and does not have any problems with parents. She is incredibly fair, and does not hold grudges. She absolutely loves children and encourages everyone to do their best. Skyline is wonderful and the principal is a huge contributing factor.
My child was only in this school for less than a year because we're in the military, but I have to say that this is the worst school that we've seen, and we've lived all over the world. The administrative staff is fine, as long as there are no problems- but as soon as I started questioning their methods, my child started having 'troubles'. It was so bad, I started taking my child to school on post, even though I live in Barstow!
Both of my children attended Skyline North and now two of my grandchildren attend Skyline North school. I have nothing but good things to say about the Administration as well as the teaching staff and volunteers. Everyone is caring and they do a wonderful job of encouraging their students and of keeping parents involved (if they want to be) with their childrens education.
both of my children attend skyline, the school is great, a top school in the district, county and state, but the principal is not concerned with the childrens academic performance, she is concerned about how well the students do on the API Star Test and how great her bonus is. If she has a student in the school that has a learning disability, she weeds them out and treats them like they are a nobody. If she has a problem with a parent, the child pays the price.
