GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

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.

Some of the teachers are awesome and some are okay. They are working on trying to make it better which is good.

Many teachers make classes hard due to picking favorites. One particular teacher flirts with many boys and ignores students when they need help. The food is not cooked correctly and is bland.
