Summary:
The Huntingdon Area School District in Pennsylvania has only one middle school, Huntingdon Area Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. Despite serving a student population with a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school has consistently ranked in the top 35% of Pennsylvania middle schools over the past three school years.
Huntingdon Area Middle School's performance on PSSA tests is generally above the district and state averages, particularly in science and English language arts. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 36.4% in math, 75.2% in science, and 55.4% in English language arts, compared to district averages of 40.9%, 73.8%, and 54.1%, respectively, and state averages of 40.4%, 65.8%, and 53%.
The school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $18,952 in the 2021-2022 school year suggests a commitment to providing adequate resources and funding to support student learning and achievement. However, the school's socioeconomic challenges, as indicated by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may be an area for further investigation and targeted support.
