i am a student and i think the teachers are great and especially Mr. Tom Stumpf, the principal. Unlike the average principal, Mr. Stumpf gets to know each and every student. Academically, we do get a challenge and the teachers make sure we understand the subject

This school does an excellent job. It is safe and the administration has always treated us well. Like every school, some teachers are better than others.

This last semester, our son is a sophomore at Skyline. Never had any homework. Got all As except for one B. I'm sure the students are elated that they can get easy grades with no work outside of class. But shame on the teachers for making their classes 'cruise control'. Some of the teachers are very nice and engaged with their students, but they need to add a little challenge to their classes.

Skyline seems to wallow in low expectations from the students, which filters down from the administration. Some teachers have proven to be passionate and involved with their students, while others are coasting or just plain apathetic. On the way home, when driving by the school, the grounds are frequently covered in litter from lunch. Administration appears incompetent.

I think that Skyline is a good school to go to if you want to have a good High School expirence. Its fun and relaxed but we still learn and do a good job.

Parents need to stop complaining about this school. Most all the teachers are awesome and I am getting a good education. The parents that are giving this school a bad review are parents that are not involved. Many great students have passed through these halls. And parents need to spend a day here to know what really goes on. They only pay attention to the bad things when there is a lot of good thing too.

Skyline High is a fantastic school. With fabulous teachers, and fun students. I wouldn't rely on CSAP scores, to tell you whether or not to send your child here.

My daughter has been a student at Skyline for 3 years now. She has been extremely well taught by all her teachers. I agree with another parent about not believing the CSAP scores. Great teachers. Great Music Program. Good Overall Experience. B.Purdes

Very mediocre school. Low expectations, lack of leadership, no interest in helping athletic programs, or the reputation of the school in the community. A diverse school, but that is used as a reason to not expect much from the kids or the staff.

The school is overcrowded and there dosen't seem to be enough staff to keep up with the number of students. However, the teachers care and with a little effort from you will keep informed of your teenagers progress.
