Summary

Arthur E. Mills Intermediate is a public elementary school in Firebaugh, serving 511 students in grades 3–5 as part of Firebaugh-Las Deltas Unified. Its results show a clear concern for parents to note: English language arts proficiency has declined for four reported years, and the school now trails the state by 24 percentage points.

Compared with the state, the school was below in all three tested subjects in 2025–2026: ELA was 25% versus 49%, math 25% versus 38%, and science 24% versus 36%. Within the district, math was a relative strength—7 points higher than the district’s 18%—while ELA was 3 points lower; science was narrowly higher, at 23.6% versus 23.2%. Against nearby Bernhard Marks Elementary, the school was slightly higher in all-grade math and slightly lower in ELA and science. Grade-level results highlight sharper pressure points: fourth-grade ELA was 20%, the lowest among seven nearby schools with results, and fifth-grade math was 18%, lower than at six of those seven schools.

Results have moved in different directions over time: ELA fell from 33% in 2022–2023 to 25% in 2025–2026, and math dropped from 29% to 25%, while science rose from 14% to 24%. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 19th statewide percentile, with 1 star, in 2025–2026; nearby Bernhard Marks Elementary was at the 20th percentile. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 24.4, above the nearby-school average of 21.0, and 87% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show notable historical changes in how well the school served particular groups: Migrant Students ranked at the 78th percentile in 2023–2024 and the 28th in 2025–2026, a 50-point decline; English Language Learner Students fell from the 64th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 32nd in 2023–2024.
