Summary:
The Huntington Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to two high schools: Huntington High School and Pride Alter School. Based on the available data, Huntington High School appears to be the standout school in the district, consistently ranking higher in statewide rankings and outperforming the district and state averages in most STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) assessments.
Huntington High School has a four-year graduation rate of 95.2% and a very low 0.1% dropout rate, indicating strong academic performance and effective support systems for students. In contrast, Pride Alter School has a similar graduation rate but lower proficiency rates in U.S. History compared to the district and state. Huntington High School also has a higher percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, suggesting it serves a more economically diverse student population.
The significant difference in spending per student between the two schools is noteworthy, with Huntington High School spending $11,054 per student and Pride Alter School spending $33,299 per student. This raises questions about the allocation of resources and the impact on educational outcomes. Additionally, Huntington High School has a higher student-teacher ratio of 12.7, compared to Pride Alter School's 4.5, which may suggest a more personalized learning environment at the latter, but the academic achievement data indicates Huntington High School is the stronger performing school in the district.
