Summary

Caleb Dustin Hunking School is a K–8 school at 480 South Main Street in Haverhill, MA, with 1,062 students. It is the largest school in its comparison group — roughly double the next-largest Haverhill school — and the only K–8 campus among its in-district peers, which are nearly all K–4 or K–5 buildings. It is part of Haverhill Public Schools.

Hunking is improving but not yet high performing. In 2025-2026 it ranked 524th of 899 ranked elementary schools statewide (42nd percentile, 2 stars), well above its own Haverhill district's statewide standing — the district ranks 294th of 351. Over seven years the school climbed from the 26th–28th percentile to the low 40s, though progress has plateaued there. Math is the strength: 41.15% proficient, essentially at the state average and nearly 12 points above the district, with grades 4, 6, 7, and 8 at or above the state. English language arts (31.2%), science (31.47%), and 8th-grade civics (26.62%) all sit 9–13 points below the state. Among nearby schools, Hunking ranks second of eight Haverhill district schools in the set, behind Bradford Elementary and ahead of Golden Hill, Pentucket Lake Elementary, Tilton, and Silver Hill Elementary School; Elmer S Bagnall in the higher-ranked Pentucket district is the one nearby school clearly ahead.

Notably, Hunking produces these results with the leanest resources in its peer group: the lowest per-pupil spending ($15,076) and the highest student-teacher ratio of any Haverhill school compared (12.5). Fourth grade is a consistent bright spot, above the state in both ELA and math, while third grade lags. The clearest challenge is the English-language-learner gap: ELL students have placed between the 5th and 14th percentile with 0–1 stars across three reported years, while low-income and special education students perform close to the school average. Science has slipped about 7 points in two years. Free/reduced-price lunch data was not reported.
