Our district has six schools and high expectations are established for all students, whose number totals just over 3,500. From our preschool programs through our wide array of high school programs, Beeville schools offer a well-rounded curriculum for students. We are proud of the variety of educational opportunities we offer our students to learn and excel.
Skidmore-Tynan Independent School District, home of the Bobcats! Skidmore-Tynan is a wonderful place to learn and teach. With a small enrollment, we are able to provide all of our students with a learning environment that meets individual student needs.
Educating children is our primary purpose. As we create a personal approach to learning for each student, we are reminded that children in our buildings come to us with different gifts and talents. The function of an excellent school system is to create and maintain the expectation that every student will master the state’s curriculum and develop those unique gifts and talents.
