Summary

Bynum School is a small, rural PK-12 school in the Bynum Independent School District (Isd) with just 187 students, offering a tight-knit learning environment that has achieved a perfect 100% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate for five consecutive years.

This school’s standout strength is middle school math, where it consistently outperforms both the state and nearby schools. For example, in 7th grade math, Bynum scored 76.92% proficient—nearly 2.6 times higher than the state average and significantly above Abbott School (50%). Bynum also excels in English II Reading, with a 94.44% proficiency rate in 2023-2024, far exceeding the state average. Its low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.7:1 is the lowest among comparable area schools like Mount Calm Independent School District (Isd) (11.1:1) and Dawson Pk-12 (16.1:1), allowing for individualized attention that drives these results.

However, Bynum has a clear area for growth in 8th grade social studies, where only 11.76% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, well below the state average of 31.69%. Due to its small size, test scores can fluctuate year to year, but the overall trend in math remains strongly positive. While Abbott School is a strong academic performer overall, Bynum matches or exceeds it in key areas like middle school math, proving it’s a competitive choice for families seeking a supportive, high-performing rural school.
