Crescent Elk Middle

Crescent City sits at the far northern edge of California's coast, where towering redwoods meet the Pacific — it's a rugged, remote kind of place with a tight-knit community that tends to know its neighbors. Crescent Elk Middle serves the local middle schoolers in this small coastal town, and like many schools in rural Del Norte County, it faces the challenges that come with geographic isolation and limited resources. Families who are drawn to this area typically love the outdoors and the slower pace of small-town life, and those looking to strengthen their child's academic foundation may want to explore additional support options alongside what the school offers.
