Summary

Biggs High is a small, rural high school of about 160 students serving grades 9-12 in the Biggs Unified school district, which stands out for its exceptionally strong graduation rates despite facing significant academic challenges in core subjects.

The school's greatest strength is its consistent success in helping students graduate, with a 94.4% graduation rate that exceeds the state average and rivals top-performing neighbors like Gridley High and Live Oak High. It also performs well in English, beating the state average. However, it faces a severe struggle in mathematics and science, with proficiency rates far below the state average and lower than most nearby comprehensive high schools. This creates a notable contrast with Gridley High, a similarly sized school just a few miles away that achieves much stronger math results with lower per-student spending.

Biggs High operates with more resources per student and a lower student-teacher ratio than many area schools, which may support its graduation success. Performance can vary significantly from year to year, which is common in small schools where a few students' results have a large impact on percentages. For parents, this means the school is highly effective at keeping students on track to earn a diploma but requires urgent focus on improving fundamental math and science skills to ensure students are fully prepared for life after graduation.
