Summary

Huntingdon Middle School in Huntingdon, Tennessee, serves 467 students in grades 4 through 8 as part of the Huntingdon Special School District. The school is currently ranked 208th out of 594 Tennessee middle schools, placing it in the 65th percentile with a 3-star rating — essentially level with McKenzie Middle School (ranked 202nd) and ahead of Milan Middle School (283rd) and Camden Junior High School (374th). The school spends about $11,874 per pupil and maintains a student-teacher ratio of 14.3.

The school's clearest academic strength is English Language Arts. Its all-grades ELA proficiency rate of 35.5% is the highest among the four nearby schools, though still below the state average of 40.6%. Students in 6th and 7th grade perform particularly well — both grades top their statewide averages — but 8th-grade ELA drops to 27.5%, below the state average. Math is also a bright spot in the upper grades: 6th grade (51.7%), 7th grade (49.5%), and 8th grade (52.2%) all exceed state averages, with 7th-grade math leading the local field by a wide margin. The early middle grades are weaker, with 5th-grade math at 36.1% and 5th-grade ELA at 30.9%, both well below state averages. Overall, 7th grade stands out as the school's strongest year.

The most concerning trend is chronic absenteeism, which has more than doubled from 5.5% in 2022–23 to 13.5% in 2024–25 — a rate more than two and a half times higher than Milan Middle School's 5.0% and well above McKenzie Middle School's 8.1%. The school has also declined from its former 5-star, 90th-percentile ranking in 2014–15 to its current mid-tier position. Subgroup data shows improvements for African American students, but notable drops for male students and for special education students — the latter group's ranking fell from the 77th to the 44th percentile. If the school can stabilize attendance and apply its successful 7th-grade strategies to earlier grades, it has a realistic path back toward the upper tier of Tennessee middle schools.
