Summary:
Firebaugh, California, is served by one public middle school, Firebaugh Middle School, which educates approximately 503 students in grades 6 through 8 within the Firebaugh-Las Deltas Unified School District.
While the school faces academic challenges, performing below both district and state averages in English, math, and science, it demonstrates a significant strength in student attendance. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 9.4% is less than half the state average, indicating a positive school culture that successfully gets students to class. An encouraging trend is the steady improvement in English scores from 6th to 8th grade, suggesting effective literacy development during the middle school years.
Parents should note that the school serves a community with high economic need, and its state ranking has declined in recent years. However, with per-student spending above $17,000 and its strong attendance record, the school has important resources and foundations to build upon. Families may want to inquire about targeted support programs, especially in mathematics where scores are lowest, and learn more about the strategies that have made student attendance such a notable success.
