We had six wonderful years at Joaquin Miller. The teachers, staff, principal were all top notch. Incredible PTA and fundraising efforts help make this school what it is. The CSM is a fantastic human, as well. My kid felt at home here and felt safe, supported, and encouraged. There were a few bumps in the road during online learning, but that was to be expected. Would recommend this school for families who want a diverse community of kids with active parent involvement and quality, caring teachers.

I would absolutely not recommend this school for any parent who cares about the safety of their child or their education. This place is disruptive and the teachers do not help at all. Restorative justice is the issue in America. We should go back to traditional education instructions.

This school keeps getting better and better! There was a big improvement this year in spirit and community that was palpable. Skyline also had its first auction this year, which was a big success. The community feels very strong and the students are excited about learning and work really hard. There were a lot of students this year who got into the top tier UCs, too. My son is in track and his coaches and teammates are fabulous, a real family. I feel like people are accepted there for whoever they are. It is beautifully diverse and my son's teachers have been wonderful. The principal is very invested in making the school the best it can be. I am floored by the beauty of the place when I go to track meets or visit the school. Their arts program is top-notch, too. I know Skyline used to be a very desirable OUSD high school way back when, and I strongly believe it will get there again. It has so much going for it!
