School Overview

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.
