Skyline is a school with diverse opportunities for students and the administration prides themselves for that, however the administration is so far removed from the student body, they don't understand the needs of the student population. This burden then falls upon the teachers. The teachers at Skyline are incredibly caring and connect with their students to make sure every student is learning what they need, regardless of how they get their. In addition, Skyline teachers provide support for student mental health more than administration and counselling. I've been screamed at until I cried by an administrator because I wanted to study instead of attending a frivolous pep rally the week before the AP exams, but several teachers have opened up their rooms to me during lunch so I can complete work and study in peace and quiet or even just take a mental break while I eat my lunch. I am incredibly grateful for the teachers because they make this school function.
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).
