Huntingdon High School

Summary:

Huntingdon High School is a public high school serving 406 students in grades 9-12 in Huntingdon, Tennessee, which is part of the Huntingdon Special School District. The school has a higher percentage of White students compared to the state average, and its academic performance is generally on par with or slightly above state and district averages, particularly in subjects like English II, Algebra II, and Biology I.

However, Huntingdon High School has seen a decline in racial diversity in recent years, with the percentage of non-White students decreasing from 17.21% in 2020-2021 to 13.65% in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school's performance for male students is stronger than for female students, and its performance for African American and low socioeconomic status students is weaker compared to other subgroups. The school's statewide ranking has also been somewhat inconsistent, ranging from 97th out of 341 high schools in 2017-2018 to 182nd out of 384 high schools in 2022-2023, despite maintaining a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years.

Compared to nearby schools, Huntingdon High School generally performs better than West Carroll Junior/Senior High School and Central High School, but lags behind the higher-performing McKenzie High School in areas like English II and Algebra II proficiency. Overall, Huntingdon High School appears to be a solid, middle-performing high school in the region, with some areas of strength and some areas that could benefit from additional focus and support, particularly in addressing the academic achievement gaps among different student subgroups.

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.
