Skinner Road School

Summary:

Skinner Road School is an elementary school in Vernon, Connecticut, serving 321 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Vernon School District. This diverse school has shown strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and has made consistent improvements in recent years.

Skinner Road School stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of non-white students (60.75%) and a significant Asian student population (15.58%) compared to nearby schools. Academically, the school has outperformed the Vernon School District and the state of Connecticut in the percentage of students proficient or better in SBAC ELA and Mathematics assessments across multiple grade levels. The school has also performed well in serving its student subgroups, such as special education students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking among the top schools in the state for these populations.

While Skinner Road School is performing well, it is interesting to note that some nearby schools, such as Center School in Ellington and schools in the South Windsor School District, consistently outperform Skinner Road School in both ELA and Mathematics assessments. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Skinner Road School to learn from the practices and strategies employed by these higher-performing schools. Additionally, Skinner Road School's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (over 50% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) may contribute to the challenges it faces, though the school's low student-teacher ratio suggests it is able to provide more individualized attention and support to its diverse student population.

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.
