District-Level NCES Analysis
Skidmore-Tynan Isd operates 3 public schools serving 752 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Bee County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,318 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 1202 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 34.6% local, 53.0% state, and 12.4% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 69/100, ranked #200 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (3 AP courses district-wide), a 272:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 24.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 67.8% Hispanic or Latino, 30.0% White, 0.7% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Skidmore-Tynan H S, with a diversity index of 49.1/100.
Its largest campus is Skidmore-Tynan El, enrolling 362 students (47% of the district's total enrollment).
Skidmore-Tynan El accounts for 46.7% of all Skidmore-Tynan Isd student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Skidmore-Tynan Isd a distant remainder — means Skidmore-Tynan Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Skidmore-Tynan Isd has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 56.8% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Skidmore-Tynan Isd student-counselor ratio is 272:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within Skidmore-Tynan Isd is typically wider than the Skidmore-Tynan Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
Skidmore-Tynan Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 24.6% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Skidmore-Tynan Isd is typically wider than the Skidmore-Tynan Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
