Feeling very frustrated with the lack of communication the school has. Why do they completely reply on phone apps?? What happened to sending out a monthly flyer to let you know there is a concert/activity/etc… I do like their math program and that I can “see” my child’s work via *one* of the apps used by the school to parents. I don’t want to be forced to rely on it for information provided last minute. Work/schedules need to be planned/altered in advance of activities so this information is nice to know ahead of time in a printed flyer. Secondly, my child had been “lost” by their teacher on more than one occasion (thankfully they don’t usually run off but scary nonetheless). There’s more but those are my biggest two. I can’t tell if this is a school issue or more likely a district one. Overall, disappointed and will be going elsewhere.

No one ever cleans the floors or bathrooms, the Students never understand what’s going on and/or why they are being punished when getting punished.

Skyview is the worst of the three public high schools in Billings, MT. If your child is an academic honors student, then this school will be fine. Anyone can teach those kids. If your child is average or needs extra help or encouragement, this school is awful. We have had a couple of great teachers, but sadly most of them have been below average or downright terrible: not engaging kids, just sitting behind a desk all class period, not even showing up for class (yes, true), telling the students to go to YouTube if they need help. Harassment and threats of violence are rampant, and the principal and deans do little to assist. The SRO is great, but he can't do it all. There is terrible student vandalism within the school bathrooms. Need I go on? It is a "good-ol-boys club" in administration. We moved our son out, and we hope to never set foot in Skyview again.
