2 years ago I would've told you this school was amazing. They had staff and administrators that cared about the students and their success. Now, they do not. Please look at reviews and school rating and consider another option for your student. Mine has not been given the support needed and this school does not have the IEP support or caring teachers (there's two that actually care) to help students thrive. They've been through multiple principal and staff changes and have hired an administrator that does not care about students, their education, or their future. Many students are failing and are no longer thriving due to this. They no longer do family involvement, have cit all extra curriculars including sports, and are no longer supportive to students. Hopefully this review helps someone decide that this school isn't right for any student.

Skyview High School is amazing!!! The staff is VERY dedicated to the education,safety and well being of each and every student. For the first time ever my autistic son looks forward to going to school and I know that he is recieving the education that he deserves. Skyview has an awesome website with videos that the students made and viewing the videos helped my son feel comfortable going to Skyview on his first day. The staff and students treat him with kindness and respect and he is making some wonderful friends their. Thank you Skyview for giving all of your student the best education they could every recieve and a future they deserve!!

My daughter is doing so much better in this school. Its small and individualized to help the kids succeed. The teachers really care and the administration and the staff are great too. My daughter was having some health issues and they really helped us work around them, so she could finish the school year on a good note.

The teachers and staff at Skyview High School are the most qualified, talented, and dedicated teachers in Tucson schools. Aside from really knowing their stuff, they have an excellent understanding of students. My daughter left a TUSD high school because she felt lost in a sea of druggies who didn't care about school and teachers who were just there to collect a paycheck. The kids at Skyview get away with NOTHING, and although grades are better, they're still challanged more than they ever would be in a large public setting. Anyone who doesn't like this school is likely an enabler to their child and has an issue with the administration and staff's no-nonsense approach to education and zero-tolerance for poor behavior. Furthermore, the art, fashion, and video production programs surpass anything I've seen from any school in Tucson. There's no school on Fridays unless they need extra help or they missed a day, but my daughter insists on attending anyway because Skyview is somewhere she feels safe, accepted, and important.

Skyview rescued my kids! When my husband insisted we give them a chance because our daughter was doing so poorly in traditional schools I had my doubts, but she did great. She got all "A"s and "B"s on her report cards, we received continuous feedback from teachers, and she even graduated 6 months early. Based on that we sent our son to Skyview from day one. What a great decision that was. Skyview didn't just prepare him for graduation, they prepared him for life. So, what is he doing now? Glad you asked...he is a US Marine!

As a parent I cannot say enough about this school. There is a new principal that has made some incredible improvements in the last year that my son has attended. I plan to send my daughter there this year. The teachers are dedicated and the art coming out of this school is unbelievable. Go in and see for yourself!

The only thing holding up this school is the meager, dedicated staff they employ. There is a reason that this school has large turnover in its staff. Very few of the staff has been with this institution for the long haul. The staff, parents, and sudents freely gossip about what is wrong with this school - the leadership. The "leadership" of this school is so very backhanded, twofaced, unprofessional, and unhelpful that they drive their own good teachers away. If the "leaders" say anything to you, be sure to get it in writing. Students are not lying when they say they were told something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT by theirs "leaders".

As a teacher, I was disappointed in the change in administration after my first year and chose to leave halfway through my second year. I found the administration to be unsupportive, unhelpful, and unconcerned with student and teacher issues. Electives offered are the best part; the art and fashion programs are wonderful and bring out many students' unknown talents. The teachers try to help each student succeed and respond quickly to issues in the classroom, both behaviorally and academically. There are not many extracurriculars and no sports due to the size of the school and lack of administrative support. The student spread was from some with excessive behavior issues to students who excelled in smaller classes with more opportunity for one-on-one tutoring. Not somewhere I would ever consider teaching again due to my experiences involving a lack of leadership and professionalism from the administration.
