Skyline was a decent school. There were good classes to choose from, including many APs, and the staff, for the most part, was very good. The building was also a plus, it is very new and open, relatively easy to navigate, and the hallways were never overly crowded. The sports and extracurriculars offered were abundant and well equipped. The main drawback was that some of the staff were not well versed in their subject matter and ended up teacher most of the course from slideshows created by other teachers. The grading system was another drawback with 80% of the grade being made up of "mastery" assignments such as test, quizzes, and projects, and the other 20% being made up of homework. In classes like math, where there. are little to no projects, basically your entire grade was reliant on how you did on the tests. Another quirk was that mastery assignments could be redone only up to an 80%. Overall a good school.
Love the trimester schedule - it allows you to fit more classes in. In fact, as a senior, I believe I only needed 1 or 2 more credits to meet graduation requirements. I also love the Magnet Programs offered as they all provide educations specific to career paths and offer real world experiences and/or internships to their senior members. A variety of AP classes are offered and the staff/admin lately are making an effort to make the school more equitable. My only issue is that there can be a lot of homework (although it does depend on the courses you take) and at times the culture of the student body can be exclusive (e.g. cliques, not necessarily issues with discrimination).
I had a good overall experience at this school from sports to teachers and the people I met there. The faculty was easy to work with throughout my time there. There are many opportunities for students to get involved which include clubs, volunteering, sports, magnet programs, etc. The magnet programs are a three year program in a specialized area that allow you to have more experience in that area of study as well as hands-on learning. I was a part of Communications, Media, & Public Policy. I had a really good experience within this magnet as we covered aspects of government, public policy, and various social issues. Last year we got the chance to form groups and interview an elder in our community that shared stories with us about their own life. We then were to create a digital media product that highlighted the stories they told. We were to show this film at the Cinetopia Film Festival at the Michigan Theater in the spring; however, this was postponed due to coronavirus..
