School Overview

Tucked into the redwood-lined South Fork of the Eel River valley, South Fork High serves the tight-knit rural communities of Miranda and the surrounding Southern Humboldt area — a region known for its deep connection to the land and a fiercely independent spirit. With a small student body and standout science scores for a school of its size, it offers the kind of close teacher-student relationships that are hard to find at larger schools. Families who value outdoor living, community roots, and a quieter pace of life will find South Fork High to be a genuine reflection of the place it calls home.
