Summary

Skyview Middle School is a public middle school in Colorado Springs, CO, serving 862 students in grades 6–8 as part of El Paso County Colorado School District 49. Once ranked in the upper third of Colorado middle schools, Skyview has slipped to a 2-star state rating (46th percentile) in 2025–26, with CMAS proficiency rates below both district and state averages in ELA, math, and science—for example, only 35.3% of students are proficient in ELA and 30.4% in math.

Compared to nearby schools, the differences are stark. Across Academy School District No. 20, schools like Challenger Middle School, Chinook Trail Middle School, and Village Middle School all post proficiency rates that are roughly double Skyview’s, even though they are just a few miles away. More tellingly, Jenkins Middle School in Colorado Springs School District No. 11 has nearly identical poverty levels (43.6% free/reduced lunch) yet outperforms Skyview by 12 points in ELA and 9 points in math, showing that the challenges Skyview faces are not simply about student demographics.

The news is not all bleak. Skyview’s 8th-grade math proficiency reached 39.6%—above both district and state averages—and the school’s dropout rate is essentially zero. However, chronic absenteeism affects 34.1% of students, up from the prior year, and free/reduced lunch eligibility has jumped to 44.0% in just three years. Several student groups have seen sharp declines in outcomes, including gifted/talented students and other subgroups, though the school’s one-year math uptick suggests targeted efforts can help. Skyview’s leadership will need to address absenteeism and the recent ELA drop to reverse the multi-year slide.

My Daughter defended herself after being punched by another girl and got suspended. She went back to school after the suspension and was getting bullied by a group of students boy and girl. The Administration knows according to my daughter and hasn’t called her parents or done anything about it. Close Quote

I find it a little unusual that there seems to be more focus on girl's achievements at this school then boys. More encouragement needs to be giving to the boys to help encourage involvement in school activities and especially the Honor Society and student council positions. The honor society is ran by nothing but girls, with the exception to one boy. During the induction ceremony, nearly every accepted student into the Honor Society was a girl, with exception to literally a handful of boys in attendance. This tells me that there is not enough being done to get both genders equally involved throughout the school.

Their band programs are OUTSTANDING and the math and tech education programs seem to be excellent programs as well.

I would like to see the school principal more involved with the schools activities though. I have never seen the Principle at any school functions that I've been to, but I have seen the 8th-Grade Assistant Principle at EVERY event, which is excellent. I've only seen the Principle make one appearance out of the many events that we've attended, and that was the Honor Society Induction Ceremony. 1 1/2 years at this school, and that's the first time I've personally seen the Principle in attendance.
