The Humboldt County Office of Education district in California serves 5 schools, including 3 high schools and 2 alternative schools. The district as a whole is ranked 1510 out of 1568 districts in the state and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges across the schools.

Among the standout schools, Eel River Community high school has the highest 4-year graduation rate at 90.0% and the lowest dropout rate at 10.0%. However, it still struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 84.0%. In contrast, Humboldt County Office of Education Juvenile Hall Court, an alternative school, has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 13.3%, significantly lower than the other schools.

Across the district, the schools face persistent challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 62.3% to 91.7%, and very low academic performance, with students scoring significantly below state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. These issues may be exacerbated by the consistently high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. Addressing these disparities and improving student outcomes will likely require targeted interventions and support tailored to the unique needs of each school community.
