Humboldt High School Reviews
Rating 3.54 out of 5 69 reviews
I've had some neglectful teachers during my time at Humboldt, but I would say the education is fairly well rounded. The only issue is that if you are not a cisgender white heterosexual male student, you're probably going to be bullied at some point. And when it does happen, there will be no consequences for the perpetrator. I'm a transgender student and I must say, my years at Humboldt have been traumatic in terms of the amount of bullying, hate speech, and discrimination I've experienced. The school also has a heavy emphasis on Ag and sports, so don't expect a blossoming arts program, they're quite lackluster. Overall, Humboldt is a decent school as long as you don't require anything special.
Going from one state to another was pretty tough for me but the caring teachers and staff at Humboldt High School made the educational transition much smoother. The friendly community and enjoyable class experiences made for an amazing year that I'm glad I got to experience. The only potential downside is the variety of AP and Honors classes available being very low.
Humboldt High School is always at the top in the state of Iowa. Academics are important to most of the students that go here. Teachers are good at helping students understand the content of the class. Their availability before and after school is also very good. The facilities are clean and still in decent condition, but the actual school is old. My dad graduated from the same facility. An effort to modernize has been done, but it isn't really prevalent. Overall, my experience at Humboldt High has been a pleasant one. This is a school I would want my future kids to attend.
