Freshwater Elementary

Nestled along the coastal countryside at 75 Greenwood Heights Dr. in Eureka, California, Freshwater Elementary is an active, traditional public school district serving the rural fringe of the Eureka-Arcata metropolitan region. Operating two public campus facilities, this non-charter district provides a focused educational continuum for students from Kindergarten through eighth grade. With a total enrollment of 334 students—comprising 177 female and 157 male learners—the district maintains a close-knit learning community where children benefit from small grade-level cohorts as they progress from foundational primary instruction through middle-grade preparation.

This includes 25 full-time equivalent classroom teachers, supported by more than 9 instructional aides and nearly 34 support staff members, ensuring that students receive attentive, wrap-around academic and operational support. The student body reflects the broader regional demographic landscape, with a student population that includes 238 White, 46 Hispanic, 38 multiracial, and 9 American Indian students, alongside Asian and Pacific Islander representation. Combining strong staffing ratios with deep community roots, Freshwater Elementary offers a supportive and comprehensive environment for primary and middle-school education in Humboldt County.
