Skipwith Elementary

Summary:

Skipwith Elementary is a public elementary school in Richmond, Virginia, serving 508 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Henrico County Public Schools district, which is ranked 88 out of 130 school districts in the state.

Skipwith Elementary stands out for its relatively diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 22.83% White, 25.98% African American, 23.03% Hispanic, and 23.62% Asian students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by SOL (Standards of Learning) test scores, is generally lower than the Henrico County and Virginia state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 47.56% of 3rd-grade students at Skipwith were proficient or better in SOL Mathematics, compared to 65.93% in Henrico County and 70.11% statewide. Additionally, Skipwith Elementary's statewide ranking among Virginia elementary schools has declined over the years, from a 3-star rating in 2015-2016 to a 1-star rating in the most recent school year.

Interestingly, Skipwith Elementary's academic performance and school ranking are lower than nearby schools within the Henrico County district, such as Tuckahoe Elementary, Pemberton Elementary, and Three Chopt Elementary. These schools have higher SOL test scores, higher statewide rankings, and lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly higher at 89.17% at Skipwith Elementary. These factors suggest the need for the school and district to address the challenges faced by Skipwith Elementary and implement strategies to improve educational outcomes for all students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
