Summary

Firebaugh Middle is a public middle school serving about 500 students in grades 6-8 within the Firebaugh-Las Deltas Unified school district, which serves a community with significant economic need.

While the school faces academic challenges, with test scores in English and math below state averages, it shows important strengths, particularly in managing student attendance. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 9.4% is less than half the state average and is a standout achievement compared to nearby schools like Bryant Middle, which has a much higher rate. The school also provides notably effective support for specific student groups, with its migrant student program ranking well above average statewide.

Compared to other local schools, Firebaugh Middle performs better than Bryant Middle in English despite similar student demographics, but lags behind Mendota Junior High and the higher-performing Dairyland Elementary. A key area for improvement is mathematics, where proficiency is low, and support for English Language Learners, which has declined recently. The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, indicating a need for consistent strategies to build on its successes in attendance and specialized support.
