Summary:
The Huntington Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative school). The district serves a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 33.33% to 66.6%.
Huntington High School stands out as the strongest performer in the district, consistently ranking in the top half of Texas high schools with a 3-star rating. The school boasts an impressive 95.2% four-year graduation rate and a very low 0.1% dropout rate. Huntington High School students also outperform the state average in several STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams. In contrast, Huntington Elementary and Huntington Intermediate struggle with reading and math proficiency, lagging behind the state average in 3rd-5th grade STAAR assessments.
Huntington Middle School performs better, with 6th-8th grade STAAR scores often meeting or exceeding the state average. The district-level data indicates that Huntington ISD is ranked 384 out of 961 districts in Texas and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. The variation in per-student spending across the schools, from $9,668 at Huntington Elementary to $33,299 at the alternative Pride Alter School, suggests the need for a closer examination of resource allocation to ensure equitable support for all students.
