Summary:
Biggs Unified School District contains one high school, Biggs High, serving grades 9-12 in a small, rural community where a majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
This single high school presents a mixed academic picture for families. On the positive side, Biggs High excels at graduating its students, with a rate of 94.4% that surpasses the state average, and its students perform notably well in English Language Arts, outperforming both the Biggs Unified district and California averages. The school also benefits from a low student-teacher ratio, which can allow for more individual attention.
However, significant challenges exist in mathematics and science, where proficiency rates are critically low and far below state averages. This stark contrast with its strong ELA performance is unusual. Furthermore, the school's statewide ranking has been declining over recent years. While the high graduation rate is commendable, parents should be aware that the school's current results suggest students may need substantial additional support to be fully prepared for college or careers, particularly in STEM-related fields.
