Black Butte Junior High is a Title I public middle school that is part of the Black Butte Union Elementary school district, located in Shingletown, CA with about 64 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 8th 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.
