Summary:
The Huntington Independent School District in Texas serves a predominantly white student population across 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative school). While the Huntington Middle School and Huntington High School stand out as the top-performing schools in the district, the data reveals socioeconomic challenges and performance gaps that the Huntington Independent School District will need to address.
Huntington Middle School ranks in the top 30% of Texas middle schools, with strong test scores and a low student-teacher ratio. Similarly, Huntington High School boasts an impressive 97.6% 4-year graduation rate and low dropout rate, along with above-average test scores, particularly in English/Language Arts. In contrast, the elementary and intermediate schools lag behind state averages on STAAR exams, suggesting potential areas for improvement in the earlier grades.
The data also highlights the challenges faced by the district's alternative high school, Pride Alter School, which serves a very small student population but has significantly lower performance metrics than the traditional high school. Additionally, the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility across the district suggest that many students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which can present obstacles to academic achievement. The district may need to allocate more resources and targeted interventions to address these socioeconomic factors and help raise performance levels throughout the system.
