Summary

Skinner Road School is an elementary school in Vernon, Connecticut, serving 317 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Vernon School District, which is ranked 98 out of 156 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Skinner Road School consistently outperforms the Vernon School District and the state of Connecticut in standardized test scores, particularly in mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, 69.2% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in SBAC/Mathematics, compared to 51.4% for the district and 44.9% for the state. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.3% in 2020-2021 to 17.7% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. Skinner Road School also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 49.53% to 52.02% over the past few years.

When compared to other elementary schools in the area, Skinner Road School generally outperforms the district and state averages in academic performance, particularly in mathematics. However, some nearby schools, such as Orchard Hill School in the South Windsor School District and Northeast School, consistently outperform Skinner Road School across multiple metrics. Despite these challenges, Skinner Road School's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.6 to 12.2 over the past few years, may contribute to its strong academic performance.
