Skidmore-Tynan Junior High Recognized as a 2010 NCEA Higher Performing School
The National Center for Educational Achievement (NCEA), recognized The Skidmore-Tynan Junior High School for making the 2010 NCEA Higher Performing Schools List.
The Higher Performing Schools are identified by two measures: consistent improvement in student achievement from previous years and/or absolute student achievement using the school's Commended Performance results on the spring 2010 Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills test. The measures identify schools that outperform their peers that serve similar student populations. Additionally, the school must have greater than expected academic growth for three consecutive years to make the NCEA Higher Performing Schools List.
Research consistently shows that students who are only meeting the state’s passing standard during their K-12 experience do not graduate high school ready for college or careers. Therefore the higher Commended standard on the TAKS provides a more accurate measure of student preparedness toward postsecondary opportunities.
This award recognizes the outstanding students and staff of the Skidmore-Tynan Junior High school whose reading program is second to none. Although the program is demanding, the students reap the benefits of their hard work.
