Summary

Skidmore-Tynan High School is a small, rural high school in Skidmore, TX, serving 231 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Skidmore-Tynan Independent School District (Isd). This school stands out for its remarkable academic performance, earning a 4-star rating for five consecutive years and ranking in the 87th percentile statewide—a dramatic improvement from its 56th percentile ranking just a few years ago. It significantly outperforms nearby schools like Sinton High School (48th percentile), Mathis High School (54th percentile), and A C Jones High School (33rd percentile) across nearly every academic metric.

One of the most impressive features is the school's exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 8.6:1, which is far lower than its neighbors (Sinton: 12.7, Mathis: 11.5, A.C. Jones: 14.0). This allows for highly personalized instruction, which likely contributes to the school's strong STAAR EOC proficiency rates. For example, in Algebra I, 88.68% of students met proficiency—34.65 percentage points above the state average—while English I and II reading scores were 18-24 points above the state average. The school also excels in U.S. History (83.61% proficient) and maintains a 95.4% graduation rate with a 0.0% dropout rate. The only area for potential improvement is Biology, where proficiency (70.59%) is essentially tied with the state average (70.51%).

Skidmore-Tynan High School is particularly effective at supporting students from all backgrounds. Its economically disadvantaged students rank in the 92nd percentile statewide, and at-risk students have seen a dramatic turnaround, jumping from the 31st percentile in 2018-2019 to the 91st percentile in 2021-2022. Gifted and talented students also thrive, ranking in the 99th percentile in 2024-2025. This success is backed by a high per-student spending of $15,206, which is notably higher than neighboring districts like Sinton ($11,955) and Mathis ($13,119). The school's sustained upward trajectory over the past five years reflects a fundamental, positive shift in instruction and school culture, making it a standout choice for families in the area.
