Summary:
The Skidmore-Tynan Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one elementary school, Skidmore-Tynan Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 1,996 out of 4,647 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 2,935 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024.
Skidmore-Tynan Elementary's proficiency rates on STAAR tests have been mixed, with some grades and subjects performing better than the state averages, while others lag behind. In 2024-2025, the school's 4th and 5th-grade reading proficiency rates were higher than the state, but its overall reading and math proficiency rates were generally lower. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates were even lower, with significant gaps compared to the state averages in both reading and math. However, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was higher than the state average in both years.
The school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (76.08% in 2023-2024). Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio (13.5 in 2023-2024) and higher-than-average per-student spending ($10,114 in 2020-2021), the academic performance data suggests that these resources may not be fully translating into improved outcomes for students. The school's inconsistent performance and the gaps in certain grade levels and subject areas indicate the need for targeted interventions and resource allocation to support student success.
