Summary

Huntington High School is a mid-sized public high school in Huntington, TX, serving 485 students in grades 9-12 and part of the Huntington Independent School District (Isd), which has shown a clear upward trend in recent years.

One of the most impressive things about Huntington High School is its near-perfect graduation rate of 97.3% and a zero percent dropout rate for five consecutive years. This is a standout achievement compared to nearby schools like Lufkin High School, which has a 1.5% dropout rate, and far exceeds alternative learning centers in the area that can have dropout rates as high as 28%. The school has also shown consistent academic improvement, climbing from the 51st percentile in state rankings in 2022 to the 71st percentile in 2026. This positive trajectory is unique among its regional peers, many of which have seen stagnant or declining performance. Huntington students consistently outperform the state average on key STAAR End-of-Course exams, including Algebra I, Biology, and English I and II Reading, a sharp contrast to Lufkin High School, which falls below the state average in all four subjects.

Huntington High School achieves these strong results with a relatively modest budget. Its per-student spending of $11,054 is lower than many neighboring schools, such as Zavalla High School ($15,613) and Lufkin High School ($12,700), suggesting efficient resource allocation. While the highest-performing school in the area is Pineywoods Community Academy High School, Huntington offers a more affordable public school option that still provides a high-quality education. The school also shows remarkable effectiveness with specific student groups, including a jump in performance for Special Education students from the 46th percentile to the 75th percentile in just two years, and strong support for students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the 73rd percentile. For parents seeking a school that is clearly on an upward trajectory and delivers strong results efficiently, Huntington High School is a compelling choice.
