Summary:

Huntington Middle School is a public middle school in Huntington, West Virginia, serving 647 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Cabell County Schools district, which is ranked 11th out of 55 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While Huntington Middle School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 81st out of 169 middle schools to as low as 145th out of 172, its performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. White students and students of two or more races perform relatively well, ranking in the top half of West Virginia middle schools, but the school struggles with the performance of African American and low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the bottom quarter of schools for these subgroups. The school's test scores in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science are generally below the Cabell County Schools and West Virginia state averages.

Compared to nearby middle schools in the Cabell County district, such as Milton Middle School and Barboursville Middle School, Huntington Middle School's performance is generally weaker. This may be due in part to the school's relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which can impact educational outcomes. Addressing the racial disparities and achievement gaps at Huntington Middle School will be a key priority for the school and district.

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.
