Freshwater Charter Middle

Freshwater Charter Middle sits in the rural outskirts of Eureka, serving families who appreciate the slower pace and tight-knit feel of Humboldt County's forested communities. As a small charter school focused on just seventh and eighth graders, it offers the kind of close attention and community atmosphere that's hard to find in larger district schools, with solid performance across English, math, and science that puts it well above average statewide. Families drawn to outdoor living, redwood country, and a school where teachers actually know your kid by name tend to find it a natural fit.
