This school has made the last three years of my life extremely stressful. Bullying is HORRIBLE as someone who dresses differently. People giving you disgusted looks in the halls, constantly get called slurs and weird nicknames then the staff not doing anything about it. Racism, sexism, fat phobia, etc is really bad as well. Students constantly scream the N slur and have absolutely no consequences. Majority of the teachers give you way too much work and projects, most of it having to be worked on outside of school. Me and my friends got in trouble for hugging and doing make up/ hair during lunch, our literal free time. Rules are very strict and dumb. No Phones, No going to the bathroom during hawk time or ten minutes before or after class, no hats, no rosary, no bandanas, no tang tops/ spaghetti straps (Which apparently applies more to women then men), If you don’t have your ID you have to go to the back of the lunch line, and more. Work in 6th grade was a little fun, but right when you got to 7th it was boring and plain. In 8th grade, none of the work is fun nor exciting. PE standards are really high. Instead of being graded on participation, it’s grading based off of performance and athletic ability, so kids who aren’t as athletic won’t get a good grade. Halls are very crowed with people always shoving or deciding to stand still in the middle of the hall. I’ve constantly heard other students talk about me and my friends behind their back.Overall, it’s a horrible school. The teaching isn’t the worst, but the enviroment and students make the experience horrible.

I thoroughly enjoyed my four years at Skyview. I was one of a few students who was involved in AP classes, drama, band, and sports. While I understand the argument that sports get most of the money, I think it's a false perception. The funding for the sports is mostly earned through admissions to their events and concessions. Band and drama need to charge and have concessions if they want that kind of funding. Academically, I felt that the teachers did the best they could with the resources they had. It's unfortunate that there aren't more opportunities, but even if there were students and parents would complain. I had great experiences with most of my teachers and staff. There were no clique or bullying problems when I was in school there. I think the A/B days and different lunch schedules really help with that. I wouldn't hesitate to have my kids go to Skyview.

Love Lakeridge elementary I have had 2 children go here K-5th grade and couldn’t be more happy with all the staff and level of care my kids got while going here
