Huntingdon Area Middle School

Huntingdon Area Middle School stands out in this small central Pennsylvania town for its notably strong science program, which ranks well above where you might expect for a school its size. Huntingdon itself is a quiet, close-knit community nestled in the Juniata River valley, surrounded by mountains and outdoor recreation — a good fit for families who value a slower pace of life without sacrificing solid academics. Families with kids who are curious about science and the natural world will find plenty to appreciate here, both inside the classroom and in the landscape right outside the door.
