GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Hello! Former student here; This school did nothing when I told the administrative team I was getting bullied. The admins did absolutely nothing when I told them that I had gotten beat on the head by a girl (with her water bottle), that I got called names, and that people laughed at me all the time....

Excellent! The teachers strive to help each child have the best learning experience possible. My son went to Three Chopt for k-2 and it was okay. When he got to Skipwith he thrived. The staff really cares & are fantastic educators!

My child attended Kindergarten at Skipwith- we had a great experience with his teacher and all the staff at the school. They are sticklers for the rules, which makes it sometimes a little difficult, given that my kiddo is on the spectrum, but I appreciate the structure. :) The school is very diverse...
