Northern Humboldt Union High

The Northern Humboldt Union High School District serves 5 high schools, including 4 traditional high schools and 2 continuation high schools, providing a range of educational options for students in the region.

Among the standout schools, Arcata High and Six Rivers Charter High consistently rank among the top high schools in California, with strong academic performance, high graduation rates, and low dropout rates. In contrast, the district's continuation high schools, Pacific Coast High and Mad River High, while serving a more challenging student population, still maintain respectable graduation rates, though their test scores and other metrics lag behind the district and state averages.

The data also reveals significant variation in key metrics, such as chronic absenteeism rates, student-teacher ratios, and the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating the diverse socioeconomic makeup of the district's student population. These factors are important considerations when analyzing the schools' performance and identifying areas for targeted support and resources to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
