Summary

Redwood High is a large, top-performing public high school serving grades 9-12 in the affluent community of Larkspur, California, with an enrollment of over 1,700 students in the Tamalpais Union High district.

This school consistently ranks in the top 10% of all California high schools, outperforming its district peers like Archie Williams High and Tamalpais High in key areas. Redwood's strengths include a near-perfect 99% graduation rate, remarkably low chronic absenteeism (under 10%), and exceptional science proficiency. It achieves these outstanding results efficiently, spending less per student than several neighboring schools while maintaining a manageable student-teacher ratio.

While serving a generally advantaged student population, the school is notably effective for students with special needs. However, its support for students from low-income families has shown recent volatility, and its academic programming for Asian students presents an opportunity for growth compared to other top state schools. Redwood demonstrated strong resilience through the pandemic, with stable graduation rates and a swift academic recovery, solidifying its position as the premier comprehensive high school in the region.
