Summary

Huntington Middle School is a public middle school in Huntington, West Virginia, serving 616 students in grades 6-8. 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.

Huntington Middle School has consistently ranked in the middle to lower range of West Virginia middle schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years. Its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally below the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.7 to 15 students per teacher in recent years, which is lower than the nearby schools. Despite the higher spending per student at Huntington Middle School, the academic performance does not seem to be commensurate with the level of resources invested.

Neighboring schools, such as Milton Middle School and Barboursville Middle School, consistently outperform Huntington Middle School on state assessments and have higher statewide rankings. This suggests that Huntington Middle School could learn from the practices and strategies employed by these higher-performing schools. Addressing the challenges faced by Huntington Middle School, including declining academic performance and significant subgroup disparities, will require a comprehensive approach that focuses on improving instructional practices and ensuring equitable resource allocation to meet the diverse needs of the student population.
