Humboldt

The four Humboldt Elementary School, Humboldt Middle School, and two high-school options—the Humboldt High School and Humboldt Virtual Education—serve students from elementary through high school in Humboldt. Enrollment ranges from 144 to 351, and the latest reported proficiency results are for 2025–26. Across the schools, results vary widely by subject and school, with the clearest overall finding that Elementary leads in both ELA and math while Virtual Education has the lowest scores in both.

Humboldt Elementary School stands out: 49% of students were proficient in ELA and 64% in math, compared with 39% and 36% at the next-highest schools. Its results were 3 points above the state in ELA and 23 points above in math. At the other end, Humboldt Virtual Education scored 13% in each subject—37 points below Elementary in ELA and 51 points below in math. The four-school averages were 33% in both subjects, below state results of 46% in ELA and 41% in math. Science was similarly low across the three schools with scores: 28% at Elementary, 29% at Middle, and 30% at High, all below the state’s 38%.

Average ELA and math results improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26, but gains were not shared by every school or subject. Elementary and Virtual Education improved in both reported subjects; Middle’s ELA rose 7 points while its math fell 3, and High’s math rose 10 points while its ELA fell 3. Comparable science results at Elementary and Middle declined by 6 points on average. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentiles were 61st for Elementary, 39th for Middle, 29th for High, and 5th for Virtual Education. Reported student–teacher ratios were 16.3 at Elementary, 12.8 at Middle, and 12.5 at High; free/reduced-lunch rates were 51%, 52%, and 49%, respectively. These figures do not sort neatly with achievement: High had the lowest reported ratio but below-state ELA and math results. Because schools serve different grades and enrollment is modest, grade-specific comparisons can be more useful than overall scores.
