Going from one state to another was pretty tough for me but the caring teachers and staff at Humboldt High School made the educational transition much smoother. The friendly community and enjoyable class experiences made for an amazing year that I'm glad I got to experience. The only potential downside is the variety of AP and Honors classes available being very low.

It was alright. There are a lot of teachers who simply come in to collect their paychecks but a few real gems. There is little discipline in the school and drinking, bullying, and drugs are all over the student body.
