Summary

Huntingdon Primary is an elementary school located in Huntingdon, Tennessee, serving grades PK-3 with a total enrollment of 429 students. It is part of the Huntingdon Special School District, which is ranked 73 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Huntingdon Primary consistently outperforms the Huntingdon Special School District and the state of Tennessee in proficiency rates across all subject areas, particularly in Mathematics. For the 2024-2025 school year, Huntingdon Primary's proficiency rates are 50.8% in Mathematics, 41.7% in English Language Arts, and 37.5% in Science, compared to the district's 45.9%, 36.5%, and 42.8%, respectively, and the state's 42.2%, 38.9%, and 46.1%. The school's performance is especially strong among its male students and African American students, ranking in the top 25% and top 5% of Tennessee elementary schools, respectively, in recent years.

However, Huntingdon Primary has faced challenges with its female students and special education students, who have struggled in comparison to their peers across the state. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has fluctuated, ranging from 6.0% to 20.2% over the past few years, which is generally higher than the state average. Despite these areas for improvement, Huntingdon Primary's increased spending per student, from $11,127 in 2021-2022 to $13,422 in 2022-2023, may be contributing to its overall strong academic performance, particularly when compared to nearby schools like Camden Elementary, Milan Elementary, and Briarwood School.
