Summary

Skyview Elementary School is a PK-5 school in Morgantown, WV, serving 373 students within the highly regarded Monongalia County Schools district, which ranks in the 91st percentile statewide.

Skyview offers a notably favorable learning environment in terms of class size, with an 11:1 student-teacher ratio—the best among all nearby elementary schools—and per-student spending of $14,083, which is higher than most of its peers. However, academic outcomes tell a different story. While Skyview's math proficiency (50.9%) is close to the district average and above the state average, its English Language Arts (47.3%) and 5th-grade Science (28.3%) scores fall well below district averages. The gap is most striking when compared to neighboring schools. For instance, Cheat Lake Elementary and Ridgedale Elementary both rank in the 92nd percentile statewide and post math proficiency rates above 67%, while Skyview ranks in the 47th percentile. Even Mountainview Elementary, the closest-performing same-district school, outranks Skyview by 51 positions. This disconnect between strong resources and mid-pack results suggests that factors beyond funding and class size are influencing student achievement.

There are some positive signs. Skyview students show steady improvement in ELA as they advance from 3rd grade (40.6%) to 5th grade (53.3%), surpassing the state average by 5th grade. However, the school faces challenges with specific student groups. Special education students have seen a sharp decline in statewide rankings, dropping from the 34th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 12th percentile the following year. Students from low-income backgrounds also slipped from the 49th to the 32nd percentile over the same period. Additionally, male students have consistently outperformed female students in recent years. While Skyview's overall ranking has improved modestly over the past two years, it still trails all eight same-district comparison schools, making it a school where parents should look closely at grade-level and subgroup data to understand how their child might fare.

My grandchildren attend Skyview Elementary. The people at the school care about the kids and do their best to support the families of the children. My phone calls are always returned and I am encouraged to visit the school. Close Quote

This school is poorly operated.the principal and vice principal and counselor all target low income children and make kids that dress differently feel as is they are doing something wrong. Kids are not allowed to touch each other without being accused of being sexually explicit. People who are in charge of this school have a authority problem. And they are making these children suffer emotional problems. Just for dressing different than other kids. I don't understand why you would become a principal or person of authority if you knew you would abuse your power. Who are you to pass judgment on children's creative ideas. In clothing art and physical contact. Unless it is causing harm. Close Quote
