Summary:
ZIP code 93622 has six schools in the Firebaugh-Las Deltas Unified area: two elementary schools, one middle school, two high schools, and one alternative school. Among the three schools with reported all-grades test results, average proficiency was below the state in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. The main takeaway is that results are uneven: one school stands out in ELA, but no school leads across all subjects.
Firebaugh High is the clear ELA standout: 67% of students were proficient, compared with 25% at Arthur E. Mills Intermediate and 21% at Firebaugh Middle, a 46-point spread. Firebaugh High was also above the state in 11th-grade ELA, 67% to 57%. Mills led in all-grades math and science, at 25% and 24%, but both results were below state levels. Firebaugh Middle had the lowest all-grades result in each subject: 21% in ELA, 11% in math, and 18% in science.
Recent score trends differ by school: Firebaugh High improved by 2 points in ELA and 1 point each in math and science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while Mills’ ELA fell 3 points and Firebaugh Middle’s scores fell 6 points in ELA, 4 in math, and 2 in science. SchoolDigger percentiles nevertheless declined for all three: from 59 to 53 for Firebaugh High, 31 to 19 for Mills, and 20 to 8 for Firebaugh Middle. Their student-teacher ratios were 18.6, 24.4, and 18.7; their free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 84%, 87%, and 86% in 2024–2025, observations that do not explain the differing results. The two high schools also contrast: Firebaugh High reported a 99% graduation rate and 13% chronic absenteeism, while El Puente High reported 75% for both and enrolled 18 students, compared with 673 at Firebaugh High. El Puente’s school-level test-score figures are suppressed.
