This investment supports small class sizes and personalized instruction, which likely drives its exceptional academic results.

The school also offers advanced coursework, with 100% of 8th graders achieving proficiency in Algebra I and 93% in Biology, far exceeding state averages.
While performance is stellar overall, 8th grade Social Studies is a relative weak point, with 43% proficiency in the most recent year—still above the state average of 32%, but a notable drop from the previous year's 67%. The district has a 0% dropout rate and 40% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. With consistent top-tier rankings and stable test scores year over year, Hunt School is a model of high-performing, small-school education that far exceeds state averages across nearly every metric.
