Biggs High School is located in a rural agricultural area of the Sacramento Valley approximately 75 miles north of the city of Sacramento. While both the Middle School and the High School are on the same campus, each maintains a separate program. The majority of students are Caucasian, with two minority groups, Hispanic and Asian, composing the student body. A high percentage of the students are long term residents of the community and a small percentage of enrollment is composed of very mobile short term attendees. The purpose of Biggs Senior High School, as the cornerstone of a lifelong learning community, is to make all learners academically and vocationally prepared, self-reliant, curious, creative, thoughtful of others, technologically competent and capable of using their learning to succeed in life and positively contribute to the community.
Testing is done during the eighth month of the academic school year.
Beginning last school year, all California schools are involved in a 10-year reporting period, regarding each individual student progress in core academic subjects. The scores are reported here in national percentile ranks and reflect the scores of all students tested. Biggs High School students are given the opportunity to participate in the Advanced Placement program in United States History, and English. The AP program is designed to provide high school students with exposure to college level instruction. Students in this program may take the National Advanced Placement Examination.
