What people are saying

Based on my experiences with two children I'd say that Skyline is not what it's cracked up to be. There is a blatant class system (IB vs non-IB), which along with pressures to appear perfect make for a stressful student experience. The administration is mainly concerned with keeping up appearances. The school is in a rich neighborhood and the students mostly come from privileged backgrounds so you'd think things could be great--but what happens is that very small infractions get blown up and punished harshly and there's a culture of ratting out your peers for even minor things to earn brownie points with the admin. Most of the teachers are good and some are great, but a few are the sort who think students who challenge them in discussion just need to be put in their place. At graduation the principal gave a lengthy recitation of numbers proving how great the place must be. If it were really great, then bragging about gpa's and scholarship dollars shouldn't be necessary. And we'd hear more genuine cheering from the student section. Close Quote
