Summary

Huntington High School is a public high school serving roughly 300 students in grades 9–12 in the Huntington Local district in Chillicothe, Ohio, a small rural community. In 2025–2026 it ranked 629 of 795 Ohio high schools — the 21st percentile — with 1 star. The Huntington Local district itself sits at the 25th percentile, so the high school runs slightly below its own district. The school's ranking has slipped over recent years, from the 35th percentile in 2021–2022 down to 21st today, and the last two years have both been 1-star ratings.

Test results are below the Ohio average in every End-of-Course subject, with math by far the biggest concern. Only 10.1% of students were proficient in Geometry, compared with 43.3% statewide, and Algebra I proficiency was 37.5% against a state figure of 61.6%. American History also fell sharply, from 69.0% in 2024–2025 to 56.4%, which is 16.8 points below the state. English II (58.1%) and Biology (60.0%) have improved in recent years and remain the relative bright spots, though both are still under the state average.

Chronic absenteeism has improved from 58.7% in 2021–2022 to 35.6%, but it is still above the district's 28.7% and higher than most nearby traditional high schools. The graduation rate, meanwhile, has climbed to 94.5% — mid-pack locally, ahead of Zane Trace High School and Chillicothe High School but behind Southeastern High School, Paint Valley High School, Adena High School, Unioto High School, and Waverly High School. Notably, Huntington spends more per student than any other nearby school with available data and has a lower student-teacher ratio than most, yet its outcomes trail Southeastern High School, Zane Trace High School, Unioto High School, and Paint Valley High School in many areas. Subgroup effectiveness rankings are low across the board and generally declining.
