Summary

Altizer Elementary School is a public elementary school in Huntington, West Virginia, serving 210 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Cabell County Schools district, which is ranked 10th out of 55 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Altizer Elementary has shown mixed performance on state assessments, with its statewide ranking ranging from 63rd to 325th over the past decade. While the school's overall proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts are generally lower than the Cabell County and West Virginia averages, its special education students have performed exceptionally well, ranking 23rd out of 171 West Virginia elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year. The school has a higher percentage of male students than female students, and a significant population of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to nearby schools like Southside Elementary, Martha Elementary School, and Hite Saunders Elementary School, Altizer's academic performance has been less consistent, with the nearby schools demonstrating stronger proficiency rates and statewide rankings. Addressing the socioeconomic challenges and aligning Altizer's instructional practices and resource allocation with the higher-performing nearby schools could be key strategies for improving the school's overall academic outcomes.
