Skyview High School's academic performance has fluctuated over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 50th to 90th out of 182 Montana high schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, Skyview's proficiency rates in ACT English Language Arts (50.6%), Mathematics (29.28%), and Science (23.91%) are lower than the Billings High School district and the state averages. Similarly, Skyview's proficiency rates in Montana State Tests for Mathematics (27.57%), Reading (48.89%), and Science (29.1%) are also lower than the district and state averages. Skyview High School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 33.77% to 39.3% in recent years, which is higher than the nearby Billings West High School (30.12%) but lower than the Billings Opportunity School (70.51%).

While Billings West High School consistently outperforms Skyview High School in academic metrics, the Billings Multilingual Academy, a small high school with only 20 students, has significantly lower proficiency rates in ACT English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to Skyview and the district/state averages. The Billings Opportunity School, an alternative high school, also has much lower proficiency rates compared to Skyview and the district/state, likely due to its focus on serving a more at-risk student population. These comparisons highlight the diverse educational landscape in the Billings area and the need for targeted interventions and support to address the academic challenges faced by Skyview High School.
