Skyline High

Summary:

Skyline High is a public high school located in Front Royal, Virginia, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 893. The school is part of the Warren County Public Schools district, which is ranked 85 out of 130 districts in Virginia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Skyline High faces several challenges, including a significantly higher percentage of White students (75.48%) compared to nearby schools, consistently lower rankings and ratings than other schools in the area, and generally lower student performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests, particularly in subjects like World History I and II, VA and US History, and Earth Science. The school also has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (65.96%) compared to nearby schools, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-income families. These factors have contributed to Skyline High's declining statewide ranking, from 182 out of 321 Virginia high schools in 2015-2016 to 268 out of 329 in 2023-2024.

While Skyline High's per-student spending has increased over the years, this higher spending does not seem to have translated into improved academic outcomes. In contrast, Warren County High, which is part of the same school district, consistently outperforms Skyline High on SOL tests and has a higher statewide ranking and rating. This suggests that the quality of education can vary significantly even within the same school district, and that Skyline High may need to implement targeted interventions and resource allocation strategies to address its performance challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
