Redwood Coast Montessori District

Located at 1611 Peninsula Dr. in Manila, California, the Redwood Coast Montessori District operates as an active, independent charter district serving families within the Eureka-Arcata metropolitan area. Nestled in a remote coastal town setting, this single-school public district offers a continuous educational pathway spanning from kindergarten through 12th grade. Functioning as its own local educational agency for federal programs, the district provides a specialized public education option tailored to students seeking a child-centered, community-oriented learning environment along California's northern coast.

Reflecting the 2024–2025 NCES reporting period, the district educates a close-knit student body of 218 pupils across its primary and secondary grade levels. The student population features an even gender balance alongside a varied demographic makeup, including notable representation among White, multiracial, and Hispanic learners. To deliver its instructional framework and foster student development, the district relies on a substantial professional team totaling over 71 full-time equivalent staff members. This includes nearly 39 full-time equivalent teachers, 9 instructional aides, and more than 23 support staff personnel, ensuring a low student-to-staff ratio that supports individualized attention and holistic care within its unique rural setting.
