Humboldt High School is a friendly environment. Unfortunately it's not a big school so it lacks in advanced classes. Academics are not very competitive and clubs and activities are limited. There are few AP classes and not as many sports and extracurricular options as there are in larger schools.

Humboldt High School offers advanced classes for top performing students to take. HHS is very advanced for its location. For such a small town, this high school is actually very competitive in its academics. As of right now, there is a handful of students in my class of 120 that still have a 4.0. My class has been the only class to be in this situation in my four years of high school that I know of. I think that shows that in this school, students care about their future and are working to achieve outstanding results.
