Summary

Firebaugh High is a public high school serving about 670 students in grades 9-12 in the rural Firebaugh-Las Deltas Unified district, and it stands out for its exceptional success in graduating students and teaching English.

The school's greatest strengths are its near-perfect graduation rate of 96-98% and its very low dropout and chronic absenteeism rates, which are significantly better than state averages and those of many nearby schools like Dos Palos High and Tranquillity High. Academically, it excels in English Language Arts, with proficiency rates far exceeding the district and state, and it is remarkably effective in supporting migrant students, ranking in the top tier of schools statewide for that subgroup.

A key area for improvement is mathematics, where proficiency is low, a challenge shared with other local high schools such as Mendota High. Despite this, Firebaugh High delivers these strong overall outcomes, including much higher graduation rates than alternative schools like Mendota Continuation High, with resource efficiency, performing as a stable, high-achieving school within its broader district context.
