Historical significance

Although official records do not indicate this, area settlers recall that a school was established in 1878. The school had been formally established by the early 1900s, when it offered education to children in all of the grades.
The two-room schoolhouse structure, built in 1925, still stands on the school grounds.
Despite extensive consolidations over time in Yavapai County, Arizona, Skull Valley still has a school.
The new/current elementary school building sits on the same land, next to the historical schoolhouse. Students above the 6th grade are bused to Prescott to attend middle and high school.
