Skyview High School

Summary:

Skyview High School is a public charter high school located in College Park, Georgia, serving grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 246 students. Unfortunately, this school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Georgia high schools over the past several years, maintaining a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Skyview High School faces significant challenges, including extremely low four-year graduation rates ranging from 2.9% to 9.7%, which are significantly lower than state and district averages. The school's proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones assessments are alarmingly low across all subject areas, with most subjects having less than 5% of students proficient or better. Additionally, Skyview High School has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 71.54% to 84.85%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school also has a high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 24.4 to 45.6, suggesting a potential lack of individualized attention and support for students.

When compared to nearby schools in the Fulton County School District, such as Tri-Cities High School, Banneker High School, and Hapeville Charter Career Academy, Skyview High School's performance is significantly lower, with higher graduation rates, better academic performance, and lower percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients. Even when compared to schools in the neighboring Clayton County School District, such as Riverdale High School, Skyview High School's performance is still significantly lower. These findings suggest the need for a comprehensive review of the school's operations, resource allocation, and targeted interventions to address the root causes of the school's underperformance and provide better educational opportunities for its students.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
