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.

My three children have attended Skillin and have all loved it. We have never had a teacher that wasn't fantastic, compassionate, a good communicator, and could meet the needs of his or her students. We highly recommend Skillin as a wonderful school!
