Schools in Pawnee ISD · Bee County

Compared to the broader Texas public school landscape, Bee County's 11 ranked schools span five districts across a stretch of South Texas that includes Beeville, Skidmore, and several smaller communities — and most perform in the lower half of statewide rankings. The clearest exception is Skidmore-Tynan High School, which reaches the 77th percentile statewide, with Skidmore-Tynan Junior High close behind at 72nd. Both draw from a small rural district that consistently outperforms its urban neighbor. Families in Beeville will also find St. Mary's Academy Charter School hovering near the state median, offering an alternative worth a closer look.
