I LOVE Joaquin Miller and so do my children. Our experience has been very wholesome and engaging. We love the sense of community that the school fosters. There is a great sense of diversity and inclusion on campus. As a parent, I feel my children are in a great, safe environment where they can learn and grow while being their authentic selves. The teachers and staff are awesome and passionate. I highly recommend.

Literally this is the worst school. I regret sending my daughter here. I was expecting this to be a great schools because most reviews are saying that this is the best school but it really isn’t. The teachers are literally the worst. They don’t explain good and they scream at the students if they did something wrong. The detention that they give here is just stupid like if a student did something little the teachers get mad and send them outside or to detention. My daughter was a really good student at her old school. She was a straight A student because the teacher knew how to teach the lessons in her past school but here is just not a great environment for your child to learn. My daughter tries hard in this school but because the teacher don’t explain good she doesn’t get good grades and she is really sad about it. Also this school is not a safe place. There’s so many fights and I don’t like the fact that a teacher screams at a student for something stupid. I don’t recommend this school it’s just the worst and I hate seeing my daughter cry about how terrible this school is.

Skyline has been a pleasant surprise. The teachers are young and top notch - most are UC educated and bring a unique perspective to a diverse school such as Skyline. Most parents get scared of the demographics but the kids are kids and our daughter feels safe. The teachers have been remarkable during covid with cooking classes on zoom after school and always available for 1:1 extra help.
