HUMBOLT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Humbolt Elementary School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the John Day SD 3 school district, located in Canyon City, OR with about 312 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.
