[edit] History
According to Skyline College-produced information on Community College Review, Skyline has a reputation of being an outstanding, medium-sized, two-year college, rich in diversity. A state-wide study found that Skyline was one of the top five California community colleges in terms of transfer to independent schools. [1]
The campus is situated immediately west of a crest that overlooks the San Andreas fault — the uppermost parking lot provides a good view of the fault. Architecturally, the campus dates from the late 1960s. It was built of pre-formed concrete slabs bolted together with steel in anticipation of a great earthquake.
On September 2, 2009, there was a shooting on campus. At least one person was shot and wounded.[2] Following the shooting a message was posted on the school's website, and a text message was sent to the student body notifying them of the situation.
The college library is run by the Peninsula Library System.
