In many cases, if the minimum qualifications require either a high school or college degree, the employer may include this in the pre-employment background check which can verify your education. This is done when you sign a consent for a background check when being considered for employment.

However, they're not particularly likely to do so. Checking up is a hassle, and unless this is your first job right out of school, your work experience is going to be much more important than your high school grades anyway.
If they're looking for people to lay off, that might change things... lying on your application at most places is grounds for immediate dismissal, even if the company doesn't find out about it for years.

Are there any laws in the state of California limiting what a previous employer and tell a prospective employer about an ex employee?
I don't know about in California but I heard that an employer is not allowed to tell anything about an ex employee unless used as a reference. If you just use the employer as a previous job all they are supposed to be allowed to verify is that you did work there and the dates. However if you put them down as a reference and a prospective employer calls them they can elaborate on your character as well.
What can you do if you expect an old employer will give a negative reference?
Legally your previous employer cannot give a negative feedback to a potential new employer. All they can do is verify employment, dates of employment, and the position held by the employee.
Is a previous employer required to reveal information as to why a previous employee left?
No - can only be required to verify employment
What to do for job references if let go?
(Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, nor am I an HR person) My understanding is that if a prospective employer calls your job references, the former employer can only verify the dates of employment.
When a prospective employer does a background check with your old employer in Texas the old employer tell them you were fired and would they rehire you?
They can't ask this question in this manner. A way around may be for the employer that is hiring you to ask the previous employer are you re-hireable. In most cases they only verify dates of employment and salary for legal reasons. This is the general practice.
