Bangor’s Rural Elementary School Enrolled 89 Students in 2025–26, State Data Show

BANGOR, BUTTE COUNTY — November 8, 2026. The California Department of Education’s school profile lists 89 students at Bangor Union Elementary for 2025–26. Here is where parents can check schedules, attendance and district decisions.

What the state’s school profile reports

The California Department of Education identifies Bangor Union Elementary as a public school at 7549 Oro-Bangor Highway in Bangor, California. Its school profile gives enrollment of 89 students for the 2025–26 academic year, including five students identified in the English-learner measure. That count describes a completed annual reporting period; it is not a verified headcount for the day this article was published.

Why a small local school matters

The district operates a single rural school. Its location makes school decisions particularly relevant to families who must plan transportation, extracurricular activities and distance to other services. Parents can consult the district’s published board materials and the state school profile to ask informed questions, but California58 has not independently interviewed families about their experiences.

Where families can check the current details

The school’s public website, bangorunion.org, provides a calendar, a student handbook, policies and links for school activities. The state directory lists the main telephone number as (530) 679-2434. Before relying on an online calendar for a trip or absence, confirm the 2026–27 dates with the school office.

Questions worth asking at a board meeting

Residents can ask how staffing, special education services, student transportation and school facilities are supported at a small campus. Enrollment totals alone do not prove that programs have been cut or expanded. Look for the district’s actual agenda, adopted budget and meeting minutes before reporting a specific decision.
