Summary

Skelly Elementary School serves 266 students in pre-K through grade 5 in El Dorado, among a group of nearby schools in several surrounding communities. Its latest proficiency rates are 39% in English language arts (ELA), 29% in math and 51% in science. The clearest concern is attendance: chronic absenteeism climbed to 23% in 2025–26, the highest rate among nearby schools, and was 5 percentage points above the state rate of 18%.

Science is the school’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools and the state, while math is its weakest. In science, 51% of students were proficient, compared with 38% statewide and 28% in the El Dorado district; the nearby-school average was 45%, and Ewalt Elementary was just ahead at 52%. ELA proficiency was 39% and math was 29%, below nearby averages of 48% and 36%, respectively, and state rates of 46% and 41%. Fourth grade is a particular weak spot: proficiency was 22% in ELA and 8% in math, both below state and district results.

Test scores have improved since 2022–23: ELA rose 8 percentage points, math 5 points and science 17 points, though ELA and math remain below the state. SchoolDigger places the school at the 28th percentile statewide in 2025–26, with 1 star and a rank of 472 out of 657; its percentile rose from 14 in 2023–24. Its student-teacher ratio is 13.7, within the nearby range, and 81% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25, compared with a 50% nearby-school average. SchoolDigger’s group rankings also show a sharp change in how well it serves students in special education: the percentile fell from 81 in 2021–22 to 35 in 2024–25, though that latest result remained above the school’s overall 19th percentile that year. For students from low-income households, its ranking rose from the 23rd percentile in 2024–25 to the 49th in 2025–26, compared with the school’s overall 28th percentile.
