Summary

Huntington Middle is a top-ranked public middle school serving grades 6-8 for 709 students in the high-performing San Marino Unified school district, consistently placing in the state's 99th percentile for academic achievement.

The school's performance is exceptional, with over 83% of students proficient in English and Math, and it stands out dramatically when compared to most nearby schools in the region. For example, while South Pasadena Middle achieves similar results, other schools like El Sereno Middle or Octavia E. Butler Magnet show proficiency rates that are dozens of percentage points lower. Huntington also maintains a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 2.9%, far better than the state average and most neighbors, suggesting a highly engaged student body.

Interesting insights show that Huntington achieves its top-tier results with moderate per-student spending, outperforming other schools that spend significantly more. The school also demonstrates remarkable effectiveness in supporting vulnerable student subgroups when they are present, ranking in the state's top percentiles for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, English learners, and those in special education. This indicates strong institutional support systems that benefit all learners within its highly supportive community and district framework.
