Summary:
The Huntington Independent School District (Isd) in Huntington, Texas, serves approximately 1,564 students across five schools, including elementary, intermediate, middle, and high school levels, with a district ranking in the 48th percentile and a 2-star rating.
Huntington High School stands out as the district's flagship, boasting a 97.3% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, with a state ranking that improved to the 71st percentile (4 stars) in 2025-2026. In contrast, Huntington Intermediate is a significant area of concern, falling to the 10th percentile (0 stars) with proficiency rates in Reading and Mathematics trailing the state average by 10 to 25 percentage points. Huntington Elementary provides a strong foundation, with 3rd graders outperforming state averages in both Reading (51.09% vs. 51.08%) and Mathematics (52.17% vs. 44.33%). Huntington Middle presents a paradox in math, with 7th-grade proficiency at 17.57% (12 points below state) but 8th-grade proficiency soaring to 65.22% (18 points above state). The Pride Alter School, serving only 12 students, has a per-student spending of $33,299 but a lower graduation rate of 83.3%.
A key takeaway is the "Intermediate Slump," where 3rd-grade math proficiency at the elementary school drops from 52.17% to just 23.66% in 4th grade at the intermediate school, indicating a critical transition problem. Additionally, year-over-year volatility at the elementary and intermediate levels suggests inconsistent academic performance, while the high cost of alternative education at Pride Alter School highlights the challenges of re-engaging at-risk students despite intensive resources.
