Do NOT send your kids here. Trust me, don't. Even if you're zoned for the school, drive your child elsewhere.We've been on 5 school waiting lists for 3 years desperately trying to get our now 5th grader out of this school.My child has been bullied every single day, every single year here to the point of needing administration intervention, WHEN WE GET IT, and daily guidance counseling. The teachers let these kids scream, beat and shove each other, throw things, smashing school provided technology, it is constant chaos everyday for children who actually want to learn.If you have a children with special needs, it's even worse, and they'll be thrown into classrooms with kids screaming at them and making fun of them everyday.Children with NO existing behavioral issues are given referrals for tiny infractions without any contact to the parents, no calls, nothing. There is no scaling, warnings, alternative punishment for good kids who make small mistakes..But children who have literally assaulted other kids DAILY get a slap on the wrist, most teachers watch and do absolutely nothing to help kids that are being treated awful by their peers everyday.There is no structure, there is no empathy, the staff are burnt out and make excuses for why the school is a mess, but this isn't happening everywhere! You will become exhausted and disheartened by the daily stories of stress your child is going through at the hands of both adults and children here.Skyview is failing our children. Miserably.And if you're not wealthy enough to afford private school, or lucky enough to get into a free fundamental or charter school, you will have to watch your child suffer here everyday.Don't move here, don't let your poor kids attend this school.

The administration at this school treats the families, children and staff poorly with little to no respect. The lack or care towards their ese students is absolutely unacceptable and blatant.This school has numerous times (based on my experience alone) neglected to follow school board processes and procedures to the point that I felt my children were not safe in their care.
