Summary

Skipwith Elementary is a PK-5 school in Henrico County Public Schools serving 603 students in a high-poverty area of Richmond, VA, where 88% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Skipwith has experienced a steep and sustained ranking decline over the past decade, falling from the 55th percentile in 2015-16 to the 12th percentile most recently. The district itself ranks 90th out of 131 Virginia school divisions, but Skipwith's 1-star rating places it well below most of its neighboring elementary schools.

One of the school's biggest challenges is attendance: 17.5% of students were chronically absent in 2024-25, above the district rate of 14.1% and the state rate of 14.8%. Nearby high-performing schools tell a very different story — Tuckahoe Elementary has just a 3.2% absenteeism rate and Pemberton Elementary sits at 5.5%. Test scores also lag, especially in 5th grade. Science proficiency is 40.91%, about 27 points below the district, and 5th-grade math is roughly 20 points behind. Fourth-grade reading trails the district by about 19 points. These gaps align closely with Skipwith's rising absenteeism, which has climbed from about 11% in 2021-22 to 17.5% today.

Skipwith spends about $9,034 per student, among the lowest of its cluster, while Three Chopt Elementary — which serves a slightly higher poverty rate at 90.2% free/reduced lunch — spends about $12,337 and ranks in the 75th percentile. Crestview Elementary, at 89% poverty, ranks in the 56th percentile with far stronger 5th-grade math and science scores. Compared with those schools, Skipwith's results are not an inevitable outcome of serving a high-need population. There are some bright spots to build on: 4th-grade math nearly matches the district average, 5th-grade reading is within 7 points of the district, and English Language Learner students improved from the 9th to 32nd percentile in one year. With targeted work on attendance, resources, and instruction, Skipwith has a real path to reversing its decline.
