My son attended the first half of his freshman year at this school, and in the beginning we were all hopeful and excited because it seemed like a great concept and inclusive school on paper. By the end of the first month of school in September 2023 the problems began. First off there is almost zero
Posted by a parent on 2/11/2024I went to sky islands for two and a half years. In my time there my 504 was disrespected, I was insulted by teachers, and my parents were neither included in my education nor were they aware of the happenings at this school. A math teacher taught that women were "biologically bad at math", a gun sca
Posted by a community member on 5/29/2023The first thing that stood out when we first visited Sky Islands is the Culinary Arts program. Once you see it, you wonder why most schools don't have something similar. The Culinary Arts class cooks lunch for the whole school once a day, an amazingly delicious lunch that is super nutritious, intere
Posted by a parent on 5/19/2023My daughter graduated from Sky Islands in 2020. She studied there for 4 years of High School and it was the best decision we ever made. The curriculum there allowed her to broadened her mind and approach to more greenery and sciences. She started out very shy and and introvert and graduated more out
Posted by a parent on 6/7/2021My son is currently enrolled at Sky Islands, and it's been a true blessing. This school literally saved my child's education/future. I usually don't take the time to write reviews but, as the parent of a child with a learning disability, I know how it feels to be at a loss about what to do and how w

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWorst school my daughter has ever attended. The principal is extremely disrespectful to the children and the parents and the teachers make it very clear how they don’t care about their jobs. Also, $600 a month for the afterschool program, absolutely insane. Don’t even consider this school if you care about your children.Parent Review10mo ago - Hudlow Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy review would be higher, except the front office staff can be awful. Extremely rude to both students and staff. It really has made the whole experience of going her very bad. It’s just unnecessary to treat people so rudely all the time.Parent Review4y ago - Myers-Ganoung Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI love this school, and I work here on a part-time basis. Mr. Schiavone is an amazing principal, and the dean of students, Ms. Dierksen, is also very on point, and they work wonders with the kids. The school is very diverse, and the kids are well-behaved and happy to be there! Kudos to Bonillas!Other Review4y ago - St Joseph Catholic School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI enrolled both of my children at this school—my son attended from kindergarten through 5th grade, and my daughter from kindergarten through 2nd. Over the years, I’ve observed a steady decline in the overall quality of the school experience.One of the most concerning issues has been the lack of priest involvement and transparency regarding how funds are allocated between the church and the school. It often feels as though the school receives minimal resources while the church absorbs the majority of the funding.There is also a high turnover rate among both students and staff, which creates instability and affects the school environment. Morale among parents and teachers has noticeably diminished, and there is little to no enrichment offered—field trips, for example, have been nonexistent. Communication between staff and families has been inconsistent, and academic recognition has seemed generic and unearned, with many students receiving the same awards without clear criteria.Additionally, simple but important maintenance issues, such as changing drinking fountain filters, have gone unaddressed. These oversights suggest poor financial management, whether the school is funded through scholarships or tuition.While I truly wanted to support this school and see it succeed, I cannot in good conscience recommend it. There are other schools in the area that offer a more stable, transparent, and enriching educational experience.Parent Review9mo ago - Fountain of Life Lutheran School
