Del Norte County Office of Education

Located along northern California's coast at 301 West Washington Boulevard in Crescent City, the Del Norte County Office of Education serves as a vital educational cornerstone for its surrounding community. Operating as an active, traditional public school district, the system manages two operational campuses that deliver continuous learning from kindergarten through 12th grade. Situated in a remote town setting, the district balances the unique character of its rural, coastal environment with a structured academic pipeline designed to guide students from early childhood through high school graduation.

According to National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) data for the 2024–2025 school year, the district supports a student body of 342 learners, with the largest concentration enrolled in the secondary grade levels. The student population reflects the demographic tapestry of the region, including notable representations of White (181), Hispanic (78), multiracial (41), and American Indian (31) students, alongside Asian and Black student cohorts. To support learning across all grade levels, the district maintains a robust staffing profile of more than 105 total full-time equivalent (FTE) personnel. This includes 33.6 FTE teachers—yielding a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of approximately 10 to 1—supported by nearly 67 FTE dedicated support staff and instructional aides. This collaborative educational framework underscores the district's commitment to individualized academic attention, student well-being, and strong community engagement throughout Del Norte County.
