My child has attended Skyview since 1st grade. Now as a middle schooler I am extremely pleased at how all the teachers and staff make an effort to get to know all the kids. As a first year principal, Ms. Hester has done a fine job of listening to parent and student concerns, making changes where change is necessary, and she is visible in and around the building and not just sitting in her office. As a teacher myself, I can honestly say that I'm so proud to tell others that my child attends Skyview. You may ask why not 5 stars? There is always room for growth!
It is our responsibility as parents to communicate with our children & monitor their progress with their education as well as the schools. It is a joint effort & Skyview has many resources available, including an on-line site posting student test grades, to provide the tools for parents to assist in the goal of providing our kids with the best possible education. All teachers are available via email & telephone and encourage the communication. We love this school!
Skyview is the best school ! My kids are passing this school . They are on the 'A' honor- roll ! The teachers there are great. They help if your student needs help. the only people that do bad don't do there work and slack off! This school is the best.
OK maybe im not a parent but im a student and that parent is just mad at my school because their child isnt doing well in it. If your child isnt doing well in this school then have you ever thought that it could be your childs fault for getting the bad grades? But anyways ive been going to Skyview since Kindergarten and now im in 8th grade. All i'm saying is that Skyview is a great school because I'm getting the 'A' honor-role! Which is pretty darn good and i know a whole lot of other people getting all A's too. The only people getting the bad grades are the people who complain about the school work rather than just doing it and getting it over with or they're just dumb (sorry). The teachers are great here ok maybe some are strict but what teacher isn't? f/ skyview student.
This school is a big disappointment. The teachers always look at the negatives before looking at the positive attributes of the child. Policies can never be changed even if it is in the best interest for the child. There is no communication with the parents when things need to be addressed but instead just give the child a bad grade. There is only one child in the class that received an 'A' grade which means either the entire class is not understanding the subject or the bar is so high that it is unattainable. The teachers think a 'C' grade is acceptable and colleges and job positions won't look at this grade as undesirable. Working at a Fortune 500 company for 25 years in the hiring department, I know that they will only hire a person with a 3.5/4.0 average and won't even consider a person with a 'C' average.
