Huntington Local

The Huntington Local school district in Ohio consists of three schools: Huntington Elementary School, Huntington Middle School, and Huntington High School. While the district has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate at the high school level, the overall academic performance across the three schools is concerning, with most students performing below the state average in key subjects like math and English language arts.

At the elementary school, students excel in math proficiency but struggle with English language arts, and the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 28.6%. The middle school faces even greater challenges, with declining math proficiency rates from 5th to 8th grade and below-average performance in science and English language arts. Both the middle and high schools have alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 29.4% and 43.9%, respectively. This suggests that the district may need to address attendance and engagement issues to improve overall student outcomes.

Another area of concern is the lack of diversity across the district, with the student population being overwhelmingly white, ranging from 94.35% to 96.63% at the three schools. This lack of representation may be indicative of broader equity and inclusion challenges within the district. Additionally, the varying per-student spending across the schools may indicate resource allocation issues that could be contributing to the academic underperformance observed in the data.
