Summary:
The Skidmore-Tynan Independent School District (Isd) is home to a single middle school, Skidmore-Tynan J H, which serves grades 6 through 8 with 182 students in the Skidmore, Texas area.
Skidmore-Tynan J H shows a mix of exceptional strengths and clear challenges. The school’s most impressive achievement is in advanced math: 100% of 8th graders taking Algebra I were proficient in 2024-2025, more than double the state average. However, performance varies dramatically by subject and grade. While 8th-grade math proficiency is strong at 69.84%, 7th-grade math scores dropped sharply from 56.72% to just 18.42% in the most recent data. Social Studies is a consistent weakness, with 8th-grade proficiency falling to 17.02%, nearly half the state average. The school’s state ranking has declined from the 77th percentile (4 stars) in 2023-2024 to a projected 54th percentile (3 stars) for 2025-2026, partly because other schools are improving faster.
Despite 74.18% of students being economically disadvantaged, the school maintains a 0% dropout rate and a student-teacher ratio of 13.3. The exceptional Algebra I results prove the school can achieve high outcomes, suggesting that successful strategies in advanced math could be applied to weaker areas like Social Studies and 7th-grade math. The declining ranking, despite stable scores in some subjects, indicates a need for targeted improvement to keep pace with statewide gains. For parents, this school offers a strong foundation in advanced math but requires attention to inconsistent performance across grade levels and subjects.
