Summary:
In zip code 78389, there is one elementary school, Skidmore-Tynan Elementary, serving grades PK through 5 with 362 students as part of the Skidmore-Tynan Independent School District (Isd).
Skidmore-Tynan Elementary shows a mix of strengths and challenges. A clear bright spot is 5th-grade Science, where 38.1% of students scored proficient in 2024-2025, well above the state average of 29.57%. Reading performance has been inconsistent; while 4th and 5th-grade Reading exceeded state averages in 2024-2025, all grade levels fell below state averages in the most recent 2025-2026 data. Mathematics is a persistent weakness, with all grade levels scoring significantly below state averages in both years. The school's state ranking has been volatile, jumping from the 37th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 59th percentile in 2024-2025, then dropping to the 35th percentile in 2025-2026.
The school serves a high-need population, with 72.65% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, while spending per student is $10,114. The student-teacher ratio is 13.1. The district overall ranks in the 65th percentile (3 stars) among Texas districts, but the elementary school's most recent ranking is lower at the 35th percentile (2 stars), suggesting that other schools in the district may be performing better. The sharp performance decline between 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 across most subjects is a key concern for parents to investigate further.
