Summary:
ZIP code 95917 has two schools in Biggs Elementary, which serves kindergarten through grade 8, and Biggs High, which serves grades 9–12; both are in Biggs Unified. In 2025–2026, the schools’ all-grades results show a clear split in ELA, but both were below state proficiency in math and science. The most important shared concern is math: proficiency was 22% at Elementary and 19% at High, compared with 38% statewide.
Biggs High stands out in ELA and science, while Biggs Elementary has the slightly higher all-grades math result. High reached 55% in ELA, 28 percentage points above Elementary and 6 points above the state’s 49%; its 28% in science led Elementary by 13 points, though it remained 8 points below the state. Elementary’s 22% in math was 2 points above High’s 19%, but both schools were well below the state. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 statewide rankings also placed High higher, at the 49th percentile, versus Elementary at the 10th. High reported a 100% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate, compared with state rates of 88% and 8%.
Results changed unevenly over the two available years. At High, proficiency rose by 1 point in ELA, 9 in math, and 10 in science; at Elementary, math rose by 5 points and science by 1, while ELA fell by 5 points. High improved relative to the state in all three subjects, while Elementary improved relative to the state only in math. High also had a lower student–teacher ratio (12.3 versus 18.9). Both schools reported free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–2025: 64% at High and 69% at Elementary; these figures are context, not an explanation for results. Because the schools serve different grade spans, their all-grades results are not like-grade comparisons.
