Huntington Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state. The school's academic performance is mixed, with students performing above the state average in mathematics but below the state average in English Language Arts.

One positive finding is that Huntington Elementary School performs well in supporting economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the top 25% of Ohio elementary schools in the "Low Socio Economic Status Students" category. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.0% in 2019-2020 to 43.9% in 2021-2022, which may be contributing to its academic challenges. Addressing the root causes of this issue could be a key focus area for improvement at Huntington Elementary School.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
