Schools in Zip Code 73566

Zip code 73566 has two schools in Snyder: Snyder Elementary School, which serves grades 4–8 and is classified in the data as a middle school, and Snyder High School, serving grades 9–12. In 2025–2026, both schools had 21% proficiency in English Language Arts (ELA), 5 percentage points below the state’s 26%; math proficiency was 19% and 14%, respectively, compared with 25% statewide. Across the six results for ELA, math, and science, the schools’ equal-weight average was 21%, versus 27% statewide. The biggest area-wide concern is that this average fell farther below the state average than in the prior year.

Snyder Elementary School stands out in science: its 35% proficiency was 5 points above the state and well ahead of the high school’s 18%, which was 12 points below the state. It also had higher all-grades math proficiency, 19% versus 14%. However, its grade-level math results varied sharply: 5th grade was 40%, 12 points above the state, while 8th grade was 0%, 17 points below. Snyder High School had the weaker science and math results, and its 11th-grade ELA proficiency was 21% compared with 36% statewide. Both schools’ all-grades ELA results were the same.

Results declined overall between the two test years, but not uniformly: the high school’s ELA fell 16 points and science fell 9, while its math stayed at 14%; the middle school’s ELA fell 4 points and math fell 5, while science rose 1. The average gap from the state widened by 5 points. SchoolDigger’s latest statewide rankings put the high school at the 38th percentile and the middle school at the 21st; both rankings were lower than the previous year. The schools also differ in student-teacher ratio: 10.2 at the high school and 18.4 at the middle school. Their reported free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–2025 were similar, at 53% and 52%, respectively. The middle school and high school serve different grades, so all-grades results are descriptive rather than a like-for-like comparison.
