REDWAY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Redway Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Southern Humboldt Joint Unified school district, located in Redway, CA with about 277 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 6th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 12 teachers, Redway Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 23:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Redway Elementary School, located in the rural community of Redway, California, serves as a central hub for K-5 education within the Southern Humboldt Joint Unified School District. Nestled in a region known for its dense redwood forests and rugged terrain, the school reflects the unique character of its community. It provides a foundational educational experience for local children, emphasizing core academics while working to navigate the challenges often faced by small, isolated school districts in Northern California.

Beyond its classroom instruction, Redway Elementary is deeply integrated into the fabric of the Humboldt County community. The school environment typically prioritizes a close-knit atmosphere where staff, students, and families work collaboratively to support student growth. While the school manages the logistical constraints common to rural districts, it remains a vital resource for fostering early childhood development and community cohesion in the heart of the Redway area.
