Summary:
The Skidmore-Tynan Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates three schools: one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. The district serves a predominantly Hispanic student population, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the Skidmore-Tynan High School stands out as a top-performing school in the state, the Skidmore-Tynan Elementary School has struggled, ranking in the bottom 40% of Texas elementary schools.
The high school's strong performance is evident in its consistently high graduation rates, low dropout rates, and test scores that exceed the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. In contrast, the elementary school's test scores, particularly in mathematics, lag behind the state averages, indicating a need for improvement at the lower grade levels. The Skidmore-Tynan J.H. (middle school) falls somewhere in the middle, ranking in the top 25% of Texas middle schools but with mixed test scores compared to the state.
The district's high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 63.71% at the high school to 70.64% at the elementary school, suggest the socioeconomic challenges faced by the families in the Skidmore-Tynan Independent School District. The district's relatively low student-teacher ratios, however, indicate a commitment to smaller class sizes, which can be beneficial for student learning. Overall, the data provides a detailed snapshot of the schools in the Skidmore-Tynan ISD, highlighting both areas of strength and areas in need of improvement.
