The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I like how small the school is. It really gives you a chance to meet everyone and connect with teachers better. What I would like to see change is the amount of clubs, AP classes, and more sports. We need way more of these. I would like to see a Key Club, debate team, decathlons, etc. I would also love it if we had a soccer team. I think that would get more students to participate in sports.

Very small school with limited class options. The classes the school has are hardly challenging. One positive thing about the school is that because it is so small, students are able to be multiple sport athletes without harming their academic life.

Biggs should join with Gridley schools. It would allow both communities to provide more for all kids by pooling rescources. There would be more variety of classes thhat could be offered as well. The financial issues would be greatly reduced. Im tired of sening my sons to schools with such low rating...
