Schools in Zip Code 86327

ZIP code 86327 has two schools: Bradshaw Mountain Middle School serves grades 6–8, and Humboldt Elementary School serves prekindergarten–grade 6; both are in the Humboldt Unified District. The schools enroll 417 and 295 students, respectively. The clearest overall difference is that Humboldt has stronger reported all-grades results, while Bradshaw is notably below state results in both subjects, especially math.

Humboldt Elementary leads on the all-grades measures: 41% proficiency in ELA compared with Bradshaw’s 31%, and 38% in math compared with 15%. Humboldt matches the state’s 41% ELA result and is 5 points above the state in math; Bradshaw is 10 points below the state in ELA and 18 points below in math. Humboldt’s stronger overall figures do not hold in every grade: fourth graders are 6 points above the state in ELA and 7 points above in math, while fifth graders are 9 and 6 points below, respectively. At Bradshaw Mountain, results are below state levels in every tested middle-school grade in both subjects; the largest gap is seventh-grade math, at 9% proficient versus 27% statewide. Science results are also below grade-matched state results: 31% versus 34% at Humboldt in grade 5 and 25% versus 30% at Bradshaw in grade 8.

SchoolDigger ranks Humboldt at the 48th statewide percentile and gives it two stars, compared with Bradshaw’s 21st percentile and one star. The ranking paths differ: Humboldt rose from the 40th percentile in 2023–24 to the 48th in 2025–26, while Bradshaw rose from the 15th to the 35th and then fell to the 21st. Their reported student-teacher ratios are similar—15.5 at Humboldt and 15.9 at Bradshaw—so that measure alone does not distinguish the schools; free/reduced-lunch figures are unavailable. Proficiency scores are provided for only one year, so they cannot show whether test results are improving over time.
