Summary:
Zip code 86327 has one middle school, Bradshaw Mountain Middle School, serving grades 6–8 in the Humboldt Unified District. In 2025–26, 31% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA), compared with 41% statewide and 43% districtwide; in mathematics, 15% were proficient, versus 33% statewide and 36% districtwide. Mathematics is the clearest concern: its 18-point gap from the state is 8 points larger than ELA’s 10-point gap.
There is no meaningful top-to-bottom school comparison because Bradshaw Mountain is the only school listed, so it is both the highest and lowest by default. Within the school, ELA is the stronger subject relative to state results, while grade-level results show a contrasting pattern: 7th grade has the highest ELA proficiency at 34%, but the lowest mathematics proficiency at 9%. Mathematics results range from 9% to 18% across grades, with 7th grade 18 points below the state’s rate. Eighth-grade ELA is a relative bright spot against the district: 30% proficient, 2 points above the district’s 28%, though 9 points below the state’s 39%.
SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking improved overall across the three years shown, but fell in the latest year: the school moved from the 15th percentile in 2023–24 to the 35th in 2024–25, then to the 21st in 2025–26, a net gain of 6 percentile points. For 2025–26, SchoolDigger gives it 1 star and ranks it 424th of 536 statewide (21st percentile); its district rank is 141st of 267 (47th percentile), with 2 stars. The school has 417 students and a student–teacher ratio of 15.9; the free/reduced-lunch rate is not supplied. The available 2024–25 eighth-grade science result is 25% proficient, 5 points below the state and 8 below the district, but the different year means it should not be treated as a same-year comparison with ELA or mathematics. The single-school list and limited, differently dated test results do not support comparisons among area schools or a conclusion about achievement trends over time.
