The Advanced Placement program is sponsored by the College Board and consists of 29 college level courses and examinations. Scoring on AP exams is based on a scale of 1 to 5. Biggs High School also participated in the Golden State Examination program sponsored by the California Department of Education. Examinations were given in Geometry, First-year Algebra, United States History, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and American Government. Students must be enrolled in these courses to be eligible to take these examinations.
Participation is voluntary.
It is very prestigious to receive a ranking on these difficult examinations. The school participates in the Butte County Academic Decathlon, sends representatives to Boy's and Girl's State and has a Gifted and Talented Education program which places a major focus on creative and fine arts. The Biggs Unified School District utilizes the SASI attendance system. This system makes attendance accounting a much simpler process. During the 1998-1999 school year, Biggs Unified School District established an Outreach Worker program to assist students and their families with poor school attendance.
