Summary

Huntington Place Elementary School in Northport, AL, serves 377 students in grades 3-4 as part of the Tuscaloosa County school district, and it consistently ranks among the top quarter of elementary schools in Alabama with a 4-star rating.

Academically, Huntington Place is a standout performer. In the most recent testing, 3rd grade math proficiency hit 57.78% and 4th grade English reached 75.37%—both far exceeding district and state averages by roughly 20 points or more. The school also shines in areas that often challenge other schools: chronic absenteeism sits at just 5.4%, less than half the state average, and special education students rank in the 84th percentile statewide. English Language Learners have shown dramatic improvement, jumping from the 27th to the 85th percentile in just two years. Compared to nearby Matthews Elementary (just 5.7 miles away), the contrast is stark—Huntington Place ranks 135th in the state versus Matthews' 615th, with 3rd grade math proficiency at 57.78% versus 14.71%. Even when compared to elite schools in the neighboring Tuscaloosa City district, Huntington Place holds its own, outperforming Verner Elementary in several math metrics.

What makes this success even more impressive is the school's efficiency. Huntington Place spends just $7,650 per student—less than every comparable nearby school, including Tuscaloosa Magnet School Elementary ($11,429) and Westwood Elementary ($10,141)—while still delivering top-quartile results. The school has maintained a 4-star rating in nine of the past ten years, never dropping below the 74th percentile, even through the pandemic. It feeds from Northport Elementary (grades PK-2), which shows similarly low absenteeism and a comparable economic profile, suggesting a cohesive, well-supported community. While the school excels broadly, there is room to grow in supporting economically disadvantaged students and closing specific achievement gaps, but overall, Huntington Place offers a stable, high-performing, and efficient educational option for Northport families.
