Summary

Huntingtown High School is a large public high school in Huntingtown, MD, serving 1,311 students in grades 9-12 and part of the highly-ranked Calvert County Public Schools district, which is rated 3rd out of 25 districts in Maryland.

Huntingtown’s standout strength is its exceptional English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with 83.7% of students meeting standards in the 2025-2026 school year—far exceeding the state average of 51.7% and outperforming all nearby schools. This consistent excellence, with ELA scores above 73% for four years, is paired with a low chronic absenteeism rate of 15.6%, which is less than half that of nearby schools like St. Charles High School (38.9%) and Thomas Stone High School (38.9%). The school also boasts a high graduation rate of 94.2% and a low dropout rate of 3.1%, reflecting strong student engagement and support systems. However, math proficiency is a significant concern, with only 26.5% of students proficient—below the state average and creating a 57-point gap between ELA and math scores, the largest among comparable schools.

Huntingtown’s performance highlights the strength of its district, as it consistently outperforms schools from neighboring Prince George's County Public Schools and Charles County Public Schools in nearly every metric. Interestingly, the school achieves these results with lower per-student spending ($16,858) than many lower-performing schools, such as Thomas Stone High School ($21,315), suggesting efficient resource use. The school’s relative affluence, with only about 20% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, is a clear advantage, but its steady improvement in chronic absenteeism and strong state ranking trajectory (moving from the 66th to the 82nd percentile in two years) point to effective systems for literacy and student well-being.
