Summary

Huntington Middle School is a grades 5–8 school at 188 Huntsman Rd in Chillicothe, Ohio, serving 313 students as part of the Huntington Local district — a mid-sized school for its area, larger than Southeastern Middle School, Adena Middle School, Eastern Middle School, and Paint Valley Middle School, but smaller than Unioto Middle School, Greenfield Middle School, and Chillicothe Middle School. It currently ranks 676th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools (35th percentile, 2 stars), modestly ahead of its district's 25th percentile, and it has held steady in that 33rd–35th percentile band for six straight years.

Proficiency runs below the state overall — about 46% across ten tests versus roughly 59% statewide. The widest gaps are in 5th grade ELA (45.7% vs. 70.4%), 8th grade science (38.4% vs. 61.2%), and 8th grade ELA (40.5% vs. 58.3%). The one bright spot is 6th grade math at 61.8%, above the state's 56.2% and the only test where the school beats Ohio. Chronic absenteeism sits at 26.8% — better than its own district's 28.7% and far improved from 52.3% in 2021‑22, but roughly double the rate at Adena Middle School (12.8%), Greenfield Middle School (13.8%), and Zane Trace Middle School (14.4%). The school spends $10,060 per student with a 14.2 student-teacher ratio, yet ranks 9th of 10 locally, while lower-spending, larger-class Unioto Middle School ranks far higher.

Trends point in different directions. 6th grade math (42.5% → 61.8%) and 6th grade ELA (35.7% → 52.2%) have climbed for four years, while 5th grade ELA has slid 16.5 points to 45.7% and 8th grade science dropped about 22 points. Algebra I has been a genuine strength — 86.4% proficiency in 2023‑24, well above the district and state. Among student groups, low-income students rank at the 42nd percentile statewide, the school's strongest group, while gifted students sit in the low teens and special education results at the 9th percentile remain a multi-year weak point.
