SkyView Academy 6161 Business Center Drive, Highlands Ranch, CO 80130

"I am also a graduated student of SkyView; I was there for 4 total years. This school is absolutely not a college prep school. Their form of ‘prep’ does not included exposing students to the reality of options such as community college. I understand wanting your students to aim high, but their explanation of college made it sound intimidating, scary, and overwhelming. There was no real prep for college; the vast amounts of homework meant to prepare us for the ‘real world’ was absolutely not helpful. The teachers were AMAZING but their affect was dampened by the school requirements and general culture of the staff. The amount of teachers who quit or were privately let go is a pretty good indication of what’s going on behind the scenes. If you’re looking to prepare your child for college, you’ll get better results doing your own research."

"My girlfriend's son goes to school here. Trying to pick him up from school is the worst thing I've experienced with a school as an adult. 100s of cars wait in a line zig zagging through the parking lot, all running for the entire time they are there. Please exit school children into the plume of exhaust gasses we have piled up for you outside. Easily takes an hour if you arrive right when they get off so arrive early and expect to wait. Waste of everyone's time and air."

"As a student who graduated from this school and is now in college, they are not a college prep school. They prepare you with overwhelming amounts of homework which I guess prepared me for that aspect, but when it comes to actual school and degrees I was completely lost. They don't help students figure out a degree path and overwhelmingly push STEM degrees on students and lack informing kids on their other options. Most students who graduate either don't go to college or they drop out after a year or two."

"SkyView Academy has been a fantastic school for our three children. All three have been challenged by the rigor of the school and yet they have excelled academically and thrived. When moving on to high school they were well ahead of their classmates in the mainstream schools and were ready to jump into honors and AP courses. Aside from academics our children have been taught on a daily basis about investing in the community around them and how to be honorable leaders, which is huge to us! This school really is about focusing on the entire student and they care. The teachers and administration are incredible! We highly recommend it to anyone seeking a great place to send their children!"

"I have been at this school for 5 years and the school is great! I am able to communicate with my teachers and they are great at making relationships with students. The courses may be a little harder, but it is worth the push to prepare for next level learning. The activities they provide give a lot of opportunities to connect with other students, too."
