The school is part of the Lynwood Unified School District, which is ranked 1207 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Marco Antonio Firebaugh High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of California high schools, ranging from 859 to 1495 out of over 2,000 schools in recent years, and has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years, indicating below-average performance compared to other California high schools. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with African American students and homeless students performing relatively better, while Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities tend to perform below average. Despite a relatively high four-year graduation rate, the school's dropout rate has been increasing, and chronic absenteeism has been a significant concern, ranging from 10.1% to 30.5% in recent years.

Marco Antonio Firebaugh High is located very close to two other high schools within the Lynwood Unified School District: Lynwood High and Vista High.

Additionally, several high schools from the neighboring Los Angeles Unified School District, such as the International Studies Learning Center, Visual and Performing Arts, and Sci Technical Engr Arts and Math at the Legacy High School Complex, generally outperform Marco Antonio Firebaugh High, suggesting that students in the Lynwood Unified School District may have access to fewer educational resources and opportunities compared to their peers in neighboring districts.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
