SKYLINE

Skyline is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Tacoma School District school district, located in Tacoma, WA with about 349 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 22 teachers, Skyline has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Skyline is a specialized educational program located in the North End of Tacoma, Washington, operating under the umbrella of Tacoma Public Schools. Situated on North Mildred Street, the school is uniquely designed to serve students who require a more individualized or alternative approach to learning than what is typically provided in a traditional comprehensive high school setting. Its primary focus is to provide a supportive environment that helps students navigate personal or academic challenges, allowing them to remain on track for graduation while fostering social and emotional growth.

The school emphasizes a smaller, more intimate learning community where students benefit from increased attention from faculty and staff. By offering a flexible structure and a curriculum tailored to diverse needs, Skyline aims to empower students to overcome obstacles, regain academic momentum, and successfully transition into post-secondary life or career paths. It serves as a vital resource within the Tacoma district for students seeking a non-traditional route to earning their high school diploma.
