Jo Ann (the vice principal) is a bully and demonstrates passive aggressiveness towards other adults, which creates a very toxic environment. The principal doesn't even respond to emails or phone calls. The teachers are nice and seem to genuinely care about the kids. If the administration fails, how can the school function? This place is setting itself up for a potential lawsuit in the near future with this "I don't give a care" mentality.

It was not great. The way of dealing with mental health and such wasn't great either.

So far, so good! My kids transferred in this year from another Ann Arbor school, where my oldest was struggling. He still struggles, but much less, and he’s no longer picking up new bad habits daily. We’re hoping to rid him of some bad habits he picked up previously (and poor language choices), and the school has been understanding. The principal seems very organized and the school runs seamlessly, is kept clean and functional and the staff seems lovely. Bullying doesn’t seem to be an issue. This transition has been smooth so far, and we’re very pleased. My kids are getting far more out of the curriculum as well, and my child that has an IEP seems to be getting more out of the services this year, in spite of continued staff shortages throughout the district.I appreciate that my kids get to attend this school.

I've had 2 children graduate from Skyline thus far. They received an excellent education and were well prepared for college. They both have careers in STEM at this time. They both participated in Magnet Programs and those were very valuable to their learning experience. The majority of their high school friends are doing great in their lives and careers as well. I am 100% satisfied with our experience.
