Summary:
The Skidmore-Tynan Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates three schools: Skidmore-Tynan Elementary, Skidmore-Tynan High School, and Skidmore-Tynan J.H. (middle school). The district serves a predominantly low-income student population, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across all three schools.
Among the three schools, Skidmore-Tynan High School stands out as the strongest performer. The high school has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Texas high schools over the past three years, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. It boasts an impressive 96.5% four-year graduation rate and a low 0.8% dropout rate. On STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams, Skidmore-Tynan High School students have outperformed the state average in Algebra I, Biology, English I Reading, and U.S. History.
In contrast, the academic performance at Skidmore-Tynan Elementary and Skidmore-Tynan J.H. has been more variable, with some grades performing above the state average on STAAR tests in reading and math, while others fall below. The district as a whole is ranked 292 out of 961 in Texas and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. Addressing the specific areas of weakness and ensuring equitable resource allocation across all grade levels could help improve academic outcomes for the Skidmore-Tynan ISD.
