Ettersburg School is a one-room school which sits on a grassy knoll overlooking the King Range.
There is a large playground, containing a variety of play structures including a new climbing structure. Within the school building, there is a kitchen, bathrooms, and a classroom containing a computer lab with 3 computers for student use; book, video, and audio library, musical insturments, TV/VCR, and office equipment. The office computer has internet access. There are two full-time adults on staff, one teacher, and one aide/cook/secretary. A custodian is there 1.5 hours per day. Special ed staff and a school nurse are available for consultation and for direct services as needed. The principal is on-site 1/2 day a week, and available by phone at other times as needed. A one-hour-per-week music teacher is funded by the Rotary club. With our small size, we are able to maintain a family-type atmosphere, and staff members are able to address the academic as well as emotional, physical, and social needs of the students.
Ettersburg School is 15 miles, or 30 minutes, from Redway, the nearest town in Southern Humboldt. Homesteads are scattered throughout the mountainous area, with the closest neighbor being a mile or more away. Students travel 15-45 minutes to school by private vehicle. The nearest social services are two hours away (in Eureka). Enrollment in Ettersburg School, serving K-3,is currently at 6 students. There are some pre-school and younger-aged children in the area, and enrollment is expected to increase. Most parents come to school events. There is strong parent support for academics. There are no regular classroom volunteers. Sixty-seven percent of the students are eligible for free or reduced lunch, and sixty-seven percent are identified Title 1. |
