Summary

Huntington Middle School is a public school in Kelso, Washington, serving 559 students in grades 6–8 as part of the Kelso School District. The school serves a relatively large middle-school population in the local area. In 2025–26, it ranked in the 39th percentile among Washington middle schools, improving from the 28th percentile the previous year. This is encouraging progress, although Huntington remains below the statewide midpoint and behind nearby Coweeman Middle School, which ranked in the 46th percentile.

English language arts is Huntington’s strongest academic area. In 2025–26, 46.88% of students met standards, nearly matching the district’s 46.83% and slightly exceeding Coweeman’s 44.90%. ELA results improved from 40.85% the prior year, with 7th grade performing best. Mathematics is the main concern: 25.89% met standards, compared with 33.93% districtwide and 33.70% at Coweeman. Sixth- and 8th-grade math were particularly weak. Science improved to 40.49%, but remained below the district’s 45.23% and Coweeman’s 46.48%. Huntington also trails stronger nearby schools such as Woodland Middle School and Monticello Middle School, especially in math and science.

About 63.86% of Huntington students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25, a rate similar to Coweeman but higher than most nearby schools. The student-teacher ratio was 19.1, and per-student spending was $16,561. The school’s low socioeconomic status subgroup improved to the 51st statewide percentile, suggesting some positive momentum. However, the special education subgroup ranked at the 9th percentile and deserves close attention. For families evaluating the school, the key questions are whether recent ELA and science gains continue, whether math instruction improves—particularly in 6th and 8th grades—and how effectively the school strengthens support for students receiving special education services.
