Summary:
The 95917 zip code in California is home to two schools: Biggs Elementary and Biggs High, both part of the Biggs Unified school district. While Biggs High has performed relatively well, with a high graduation rate and better test scores, Biggs Elementary has struggled, with low test scores and a high chronic absenteeism rate.
Biggs High stands out as the stronger-performing school, with a 96.8% four-year graduation rate, a lower dropout rate than the state average, and generally higher performance on standardized tests compared to the district and state. In contrast, Biggs Elementary has consistently underperformed the district and state averages on Smarter Balanced Assessments in both English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, and has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9%.
The data also reveals that both schools have a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Additionally, Biggs Elementary has a higher student-teacher ratio than the state average, which may contribute to its lower performance. These factors highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes at both schools.
