Summary

Skyline High School is a public high school located in Longmont, Colorado, serving 1,197 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the St. Vrain Valley School District, which is ranked 27th out of 115 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a highly-ranked district, Skyline High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Colorado high schools over the past 10 years, with its academic performance on standardized tests like CMAS, SAT, and PSAT significantly lower than the district and state averages. This is particularly true for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and Special Education students, who rank in the bottom 10-20% of Colorado high schools. Skyline High School's four-year graduation rate has also ranged from 83.1% to 94.3% in recent years, which is generally lower than the district and state averages, and the school has a higher-than-average dropout rate.

Interestingly, Skyline High School's performance for Gifted and Talented students is an outlier, with the school ranking in the top 22 out of 136 Colorado high schools in 2024-2025, despite its overall low academic performance. This suggests the school has the potential to improve its outcomes with the right interventions and support. Compared to nearby high schools in the St. Vrain Valley School District, such as Lyons Middle/Senior High School, Erie High School, and Niwot High School, Skyline High School's academic achievement, graduation rates, and student engagement are significantly lower.
