Given the real, disclosed 16-percentage-point gap between Huntington High School and Cabell Midland High School, families should confirm a specific target address's actual assigned school and its current, individual performance data directly with Cabell County Schools or the West Virginia Department of Education rather than relying on the district-wide average alone.
