Middle Schools in Huntingdon Area School District

The Huntingdon Area Middle School is the sole middle school serving the Huntingdon Area School District in Pennsylvania. With 376 students, the school has a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement in its academic performance.

Huntingdon Area Middle School's academic performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from 274 out of 891 Pennsylvania middle schools in 2023-2024 to 486 out of 873 in 2024-2025. While the school excels in science proficiency, with rates significantly higher than the district and state averages, its math and English language arts (ELA) proficiency rates lag behind both the district and state. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is often associated with lower academic performance.

Despite these challenges, the school's per-student spending of $18,147 is higher than the national average, suggesting a focus on resource allocation and investment in educational programs. The school also maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.5 to 1, which could be a strength in providing personalized attention to students. Overall, the data indicates that while Huntingdon Area Middle School has some areas of strength, it faces ongoing challenges in improving its academic performance and addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.
