I feel as though we have an excellent school system and this includes all of our administrators, faculty, staff, students and parents under this umbrella of 'Excellence'. As a graduate of Huntington High and now a parent of a student at HHS, there's no other place I can think of that I would rather my child attend. Perhaps the parental involvement is the area lacking the most however at the high school level our involvement is rather limited anyway as we try to prepare our children for standing on their own. At this level where children are being handed more responsiblity and wanting less parental supervision and/or input, it is a stage of limited parental involvement by nature's design and has little to do with the school failing to maintain ties with parents. Instead it's more of the school working with parents to better prep our youth to embrace real life!
As with any small town school, politics is the name of the game.
This is a great school, because of the relativity of teacher to student. A teacher will know every students name, and will not hesitate to work one on one. The extracurricular activities are also great with qualified coaches and athletic staff.
The entire school district is plagued by corruption and absolute stupidity in administration. Principals and administrators are chosen on linage, not qualifications. Many teachers have personal issues and lack the ability to teach properly. Counseling in high school is non existent and misleading. It is advisable to stay far away from this district.
I think this school is the best in the world! All the teachers on all the campuses are great, they care about all the students. I think the person that wrote after 5th grade that they don't care does not know what they are talking about. Huntington ISD in the best in the world!
K-5 grades are 'great' but once the kids hit middle school and up, it seems the teachers do not have the time to help the kids.
