Summary:
The city of Huntingdon, Tennessee is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. While the Huntingdon Special School District as a whole is ranked 73 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and rated 2 out of 5 stars, a few schools in the district stand out.
Huntingdon Primary is an elementary school that has consistently ranked in the top 250-450 elementary schools in Tennessee, earning 3-4 out of 5 stars. It has above-average math and English proficiency rates compared to the district and state. In contrast, Huntingdon High School has ranked in the top 175-212 high schools in Tennessee, earning 2-3 out of 5 stars, but has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.2% and a low dropout rate of 6.7%.
One area of concern across the district is high chronic absenteeism rates around 18.9%, well above the state average. Test scores also show mixed performance, with math and English proficiency ranging from 31.8% to 52.5% and 23.8% to 52.1% respectively. Spending per student varies considerably, from $11,227 at Huntingdon Middle School to $13,230 at Huntingdon Primary, which may impact outcomes. Overall, the Huntingdon school district has some strong performing schools, but also faces challenges around attendance and inconsistent academic performance that warrant further investigation.
