HERLONG HIGH SCHOOL

Herlong High is a public high school that is part of the Fort Sage Unified school district, located in Herlong, CA with about 52 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 5 teachers, Herlong High has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. 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.

Herlong High School, located in the rural community of Herlong, California, serves as the primary secondary education institution for the students of the Fort Sage Unified School District. Situated in a remote area of Lassen County, the school plays a vital role in its small community, offering a close-knit learning environment where faculty and staff can provide individualized attention to a relatively small student body. Because of its location near the Sierra Army Depot, the school often serves a diverse population of students, including those from military-connected families.

Academically, the school focuses on preparing students for life after graduation, whether that involves transitioning into the workforce, vocational training, or higher education. Despite its small size and limited resources typical of isolated rural schools, Herlong High strives to offer a comprehensive curriculum that meets state standards while fostering a supportive school spirit. The institution remains a central hub for local student life, balancing its small-town atmosphere with the educational challenges and opportunities inherent in the modern California public school system.
