Huntingdon Area Middle School also performs well, ranking 274 out of 891 Pennsylvania middle schools and demonstrating strong PSSA scores, particularly in science and English language arts.

The data reveals significant variation in school performance, with a potential correlation between socioeconomic factors and academic outcomes. The higher-poverty schools, such as Standing Stone Elementary with 62.47% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, generally have lower test scores. Additionally, the public charter schools (New Day and Stone Valley Community Charter School) appear to be underperforming compared to the traditional public schools in the district, suggesting the importance of school type and governance in student outcomes.
