California College-Going Rate

25% of the 2022-23 graduating class enrolled in college within a year.

The share of 2022-23 graduates who enrolled at a college anywhere in the U.S. within 12 months, per the National Student Clearinghouse match the California Department of Education publishes.

Within 12 months
25%
of 24 graduates

Give the same class four more months and 25% had enrolled — CDE publishes a 16-month window alongside the 12-month one, 6 students.

Down 14.3 points from the 2021-22 class (39.3%).

Where the 2022-23 class enrolled

In California — 5 students (20.8%)

University of California 0.0% 0
California State University 4.2% 1
California Community College 16.7% 4
California private college 0.0% 0

Out of state — 1 students (4.2%)

Out-of-state 4-year 0.0% 0
Out-of-state 2-year 4.2% 1

CDE puts each graduate in one bucket only — whichever kind of college they were enrolled in longest — so these add up to the rate above. That is a different count from the UC Reach Score on this page, which counts a student at every UC campus that admitted them.

CDE builds the rate by matching California high school completers to National Student Clearinghouse enrollment records; we publish CDE’s aggregates and hold no student-level data.

College readiness

Getting ready for college

These come from the state and federal files, not from UC — so they are here whether or not Northern United - Humboldt Charter has a UC admissions record.

A-G Completion
Only 4 in 10 graduates finish the courses UC and CSU require — below the state norm. Worth asking how course access and planning work here.
37%
10 of 27 graduates · 2024-25 cohort
In context: CA median 55.9% · -18.9 pp vs. median · Humboldt Co. 40.0%.

SBAC academic outcomes — grade 11, 2025

Share of grade-11 students meeting or exceeding the California standard on Smarter Balanced ELA and Math. This is the academic-readiness signal that pairs with UC Reach (post-grad outcomes), stability (retention), and absenteeism (engagement). Note: statewide median Math is only ~20% — a school at 20% isn't an outlier; one at 45%+ genuinely is.

About 4 in 10 students read and write at grade level — below the state norm — worth asking what extra support looks like.
About 1 in 5 students do math at grade level — about the state norm.

Chronic absenteeism — 2024-25

Share of students missing 10% or more of expected attendance — the leading indicator that often precedes the demand decline shown above. Families disengaging tend to raise absenteeism first, then formally leave. Basis: grades 9–12.

Kids show up: 9% are chronically absent versus about 23% statewide — engagement most schools would envy.

Enrollment stability & demand — 2024-25

F-33 is a district-level federal filing — it reflects the Humboldt County Office of Education as a whole, not this individual school's books. Revenue mix shows where the district's dollars come from (state aid dominates in CA via LCFF). Instruction share is current expenditure on instruction ÷ total current expenditure (national benchmark ~60%). Long-term debt is end-of-year outstanding (mostly facilities bonds).
