| 5 I am a parent with a child that go's to HHS and my child have a 4.2 GPA. I am a little put out with people wanting to put down Huntington. Do not put down the school step up and work with us. - Posted by Parent - wilde |
| 5 This is school is what you would call "hood" or whatever,but Huntington provides academic success for all students. This school may have some bad children and I know that our rates on just about everything is low,but this year,2k14 it's going to change! - Posted by Student/Alumni - nicol |
| 2 Everything about this school is stupid. The staff is lazy, the teachers don't do their job, and the students are bad. I'm surprised this school hasn't been shut down. - Posted by Student/Alumni - littl |
