The school admin, staff and teachers are trying! But it's a difficult situation, with too many students and not enough space or teachers. I think the culture of the place will change a lot next year, for the better, when the new school opens and relieves the numbers problem some. In spite of it all, by kids had a great experience, with excellent teachers and amazing extracurricular activities, and now are in excellent colleges thanks to the hard work of the HHS faculty and staff!

The school has been amazing to work with. We've been through learning disabilities, speech therapy, dealing with bullying, and dealing with mental health issues, and through it all the school has been amazingly supportive and willing to work with us to find a lasting solution. The diversity is amazing, and test scores can't effectively measure the learning my children are doing in terms of what it means to be a citizen in a diverse world. I can't imagine sending my kids to any other elementary school, period.

This school has teachers who are the cream of the crop, every one of whom excels at their subject. The principal Mr. Glick is inspirational, hands on, and enthusiastic; which is evident from his daily ritual of standing outside: rain, snow, or shine to welcome and shake the hand of EVERY student who enters the school that day. I know of no other school principal who has ever bothered to greet every student walking into the building. The vice principal is always at his side. They're a great team! What a great way to start the day! The students are warm and friendly. There has never been a single known case of bullying since the school's principal, teachers and staff are have an open door policy and have zero tolerance for bullying. The building is new and very well maintained. Custodians do a great job and are very friendly and courteous towards parents. The room sizes are ideal- building was very well planned. My child (and my husband and I) will be extremely upset when moving on to high school because Skyline sets the bar so very high. I don't know how "greatschools.com" rates schools, but I give Skyline a 10/10. I can't think of anything that needs improvement.
