Summary:
Huntington, Utah, is a small community with two public schools serving students from prekindergarten through eighth grade: Huntington School serves PK–5, and Canyon View Middle School serves grades 6–8. Together, they enroll 439 students and are part of Emery District, which ranks near the middle of Utah districts. There is no public high school or alternative school in the city, so families will need to look elsewhere for grades 9–12.
Huntington School has the stronger current overall ranking, at the 59th percentile statewide, compared with the 45th percentile for Canyon View Middle School. Huntington has shown substantial improvement since 2020–21, and its fifth-grade results are a notable strength: ELA and science were above statewide averages, while math was close to the state level. Earlier-grade results, particularly fourth-grade ELA and science, were weaker or reported only as broad ranges, so families may want to pay attention to elementary literacy and science support. Huntington also has the higher chronic absenteeism rate—41.7%—which is well above both the district and state figures.
Canyon View Middle School has the more encouraging recent ranking trend, rising from the 24th percentile to the 45th percentile over three years. Its strongest subjects are science and mathematics: sixth-grade science reached 70.9%, while seventh- and eighth-grade math exceeded both district and state results. Its main academic weakness is sixth-grade ELA and math, suggesting that the transition into middle school deserves attention. Canyon View’s chronic absenteeism rate of 36.1% is closer to the district average but still above the state rate. Overall, Huntington offers the higher current ranking, while Canyon View shows stronger recent momentum; attendance improvement is an important priority at both schools.
