If I could sum up Skyline in one word, it would be wings. They have the best damn chicken wings in the whole world. The rest is meh. EDIT: Ive received some criticism for calling the wings the best damn chicken wings in the whole world, but I can assure you, I do not take that phrase lightly. I dont go around handing those out to every shabby high school that thinks they know what wings are. You really have to try them yourself to believe. I know what youre thinking, here goes Ben again on another wing rant, better pack up before this gets to serious. Well things just got serious. These. Wings. Are. To. Kill. For.

About 4 years ago now, I was looking for a new wings place in Ann Arbor because Id gotten tired of the same old same old sauces at Ann Arbor Open. I stumbled across Skyline and immediately felt that I had to try these famous wings for myself. When I showed up (in the very early morning I might add, because of the horrific overcrowding problem that exists) I was flabbergasted at the horrendous service. Though I was able to talk to a server relatively quickly, they showed no knowledge of any type of the wings and could not even offer me a menu. Then, once I was able to finally place an order, it took 4 years before the wings finally came. They were pretty good though. Wing quality 10/10, service quality 0/10.

Its so hard to succeed in making something happen, even whats been decided on and planned out, not even the will of a god seems forceful enough to manage it, if our own will is made in its semblance. It may be, rather, that nothing is ever unmixed and the thirst for totality is never quenched, perhaps because it is a false yearning. Nothing is whole or of a single piece, everything is fractured and evenomed, veins of peace run through the body of war and hatred insinuates itself into love and compassion, there is truce amid the quagmire of bullets and a bullet amid the revelries, nothing can bear to be unique or prevail or be dominant and everything needs fissures and cracks, needs it negation at the same time as its existence. And nothing is known with certainty and everything is told figuratively.- Javier Marias

I cant and wont judge the school on the teachers, there are good ones and bad ones at every school. The central administration, on the other hand, I can. And heres an example of their amazing skills: Absolutely no one showed up for the first Parent-teacher conferences last year. Why? BECAUSE THEY DIDNT TELL ANYONE THEY WERE EVEN HAPPENING! THATS THEIR JOB!!! I MEAN, I COULD RUN THIS SCHOOL BETTER THEN THAT! Dont even get me started about the rest of it.

I came to Skyline High hoping to taste some of the FANTASTIC WINGS people keep raving about. Service was a complete nightmare! I sat for hours waiting for a waiter, but none came. Finally I found an employee and politely asked him where I could purchase some wings. The employee laughed in my face as if it was a joke. Unbelievable!!! The atmosphere is terrible as well. I had to sit in some noisy open air seating room called The Commons. I didnt like the whole communal eating aspect. What am I? A Hipster? And the people I sat with were complete animals!! At the end of the day though when I FINALLY got my wings they were pretty darn good. 10/10 WOULD NOT RECCOMMEND......unless your looking for some serious wings

Tried going there for food once and the service was terrible. Not only was I not given a menu, but no one came to ask me for what I wanted. I had to get up and walk through their own kitchen to pick up some sub-par nourishment. Would not recommend.

I attended this school for a year and found its architecture thoroughly disturbing. Is this a school or an attempt to model supersymmetry? Excuse me? I often found myself contemplating the directionless nature of existence when standing in one of the four identical hallways. I feel that the plot is lacking in essence and there are too many characters. At the end of the day youre left with a feeling of emptiness. Also, I could not help but notice that some of the power outlets are upside down, in this supposedly positive environment for young people. Wow, simply unacceptable. I will not tread on these lands again.

A cold, confining environment. Bureaucratic administration. Terrible academics; the administration gets annoyed when you try to test out because they fear becoming a focus school. A few good teachers, but they are the minority. Students are treated as a number.

Imagine a prison. Everybody hates each other, and sections are divided into groups. The guards (teachers) are 1 in 5 good. The math teachers are terrible, with only having a couple with a good attitude. Others, such as llaoro and burton treat the class as if they have mental illnesses, and are only there because they get paid, and have no satisfaction for teaching kids. Not only do teachers and staff abuse their power. Terrible school

Well first off trying to see your counselor is like trying to meet the president you have to fill out a form and if its important then you have to tell the person the front desk and she has to relay the message! Not just that a lot of the teachers can be very disrespectful to the student and a lot have very short tempers. The hall monitors I guess you can call them are very aggressive as my first day I had never been to a big school before so I need help and in asking for help I was called retarded. Also to get on the good side of teachers the most time you have to ether play a sport, not ask any questions, and or be a kiss ass to the teachers. There is a lot of politics played in the school. not to mention when I came to Skyline in the 10th grade they put me in the 9th grade and they wouldnt not change it back so I was stuck in a grade I had already completed, so now im getting my GED as a referral from family who also went there and are doing the same because they endured if not the same worse! Dont let the smiles and help in the first few weeks fool you as soon as you do one thing they dont like your blackballed from any help!!!

Review №18

Hate it, the teachers dont even teach and that is the focal point of the problem. theyre also unfair and theyre very disrespectful to students who never caused trouble and they actually need help on what theyre learning. they dont grade on time which is super frustrating and you have to remind them every time to update your grade and it gets to the point where you dont care anymore. the organization is also really frustrating because you dont know whats gonna happen and it messes everything up. also, skytime is super pointless and wed care more about finishing our homework than to learn about empathy... -5/10

Bright and airy, modern spaces. A new beggining, a hopeful new world. You ignore that nothing has changed, demanding to be better then your past school experiences. The disconcertedness experienced in this highschool has turned me nostalgic of my middle school days, at least those were a time when I had real friends, who have all gone seperate ways.Now you slowly dwindle, thrown to the side, a social outcast. In its fair time it has become simply drab and unbearable. You are forced to wonder out into the beautiful nature around, but soon see it to be flawed and unfit, primarily due to the disgusting slab like buildings treason against nature itself, and all the awfully planned green infrastructure that attends to it. Now we cant even go in the woods, lest the staff catch us and pervert our innocent intentions into great wrong doing, leaving the building during the lunch hour for one to escape the institutes shear conformity is somehow interpretted into leaving the building to cause havoc in the nearby suburbs, planning school shootings, or abusing drugs.Slowly they attemp to meld your mind, tell you what you love and know as your personal ways of thinking are problematic ways of a misfit. Even among the closest persons to friends I associate with, I am still the outsider, misunderstood and constantly misenterpreted, a shear lack of right to individuality.On an architectural level the school is drained of creativity. Harshly symmetrical, yet the infrastructure still leads to troublesome commuting, both inside and out. Entering stair shafts is comparable to turning past a lane of uncoming traffic or forcing a small paddle craft upstream in a rushing turrent. The halls in the wing of the building are uterly crowded at their extreme ends due to classmates loitering during passing, a combination of those exiting into the stairs or the central hall area and those coming from these areas.The entire building is cold and drafty, somehow the engineers behind this structure found it wise to have the geothermal water collection point exposed on the narrow top level maintenance floor. The ceilings directly below roofs consistently leak.Recently I have managed to be more social, but at what price? To what ends or reward? In a realm of relative social comfort, my individuallity is still forced to be sold out and neglected, only to weave into a social scape of creativity drained walking stiffs. Stiffs whom bashfully entertain themselves with whos a druggy or whos dating what or what teachers totally blow or engaging in activities on one of multiple mobile internet communities to hide themselves from the fact they are zombies on a practical level, void of a drive to improve the world, but instead the drive repeatedly driven and instilled to be successful and earn the big bucks, regardless of lack of one contributing to a better environment or society. Peers continue to take me as weak and uncapable due to my humble refusal to join in the mass plan.

While it still trumps the other neighborhood dive, Forsythe Middle School, Skyline High School is nevertheless one of the most frusturating institutions that I have ever experienced in my entire life. Its disfunctional bureaucracy is on par with a corrupt government of a central African nation and the DMV. None of the goddamn bathrooms work. The other patrons are savages. Despite what Ben said, the wings also sucked. I had the runs for 3 weeks after eating them.0/10 would not attend
