Skyview High School is the main high school for Mapleton Public Schools, located at 9000 York Street in Thornton, Colorado.
"Small By Design" is the name of a proposal put forth by Mapleton Public Schools in response to the threat of "charterization" by the state due to low test scores. It involves breaking up the large "traditional" schools into smaller, more goal-oriented schools.
Skyview Big Picture, oriented towards the "big picture". This involves a smaller focus on day to day assignments, and a larger focus on big projects involving a wide array of skills.
Skyview Expeditionary Learning, focussing on pushing students to new heights and in new ways. They go on many field trips, or "expeditions" to see how their subjects are used in the real world.
Skyview Expeditionary Learning Through the Arts, focussing on the arts as the name implies. Students are more of a "troupe" than a class, studying written plays, music, and stage design above more traditional academic pursuits.
Skyview New Technology, unique in its 1:1 student to computer ratio. Students study more technology than those at the other schools, and their education is centered around use of technology as a necessity, rather than an aid.
Skyview Early College, also unique in that it focuses less on the high school than on higher education. Classes will be held on a college campus, and when students complete the five year term they will have the equivalent of an Associate's Degree, or two years of college study.
Skyview Academy, largest of the group, is a standard charter-style school. It is the public facet of the new Skyview system, as students are admitted to the other schools on a limited basis.
The school was featured in the "Senior Photo Crasher/Fake Announcement" episode of MTV2's High School Stories: Scandals, Pranks, And Controversies on July 18, 2006, regarding a prank pulled by a student.
