Summary

San Andreas High (Continuation) is a small, alternative public high school serving about 46 students in grades 10-12 within the high-performing Tamalpais Union High district in Larkspur, CA, designed for students who have not thrived in a traditional comprehensive high school setting.

The school faces significant challenges, most notably an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of over 90%, which is far above the district average and even other continuation schools like Madrone High Continuation. Academic proficiency in core subjects is also well below averages for the district and state. To serve its students, the school operates with a very low student-to-teacher ratio and spends roughly $50,000 per student, which is more than double the per-student spending at nearby comprehensive high schools such as Redwood High and Tamalpais High.

Despite these steep challenges, San Andreas High demonstrates clear success in its core mission: it maintains a consistent graduation rate of over 80%, which outperforms similar schools like Marin's Community and is close to the state average. This indicates the school is effective at helping at-risk students complete their diplomas. The school's performance can vary year-to-year due to its small size, but it serves as a critical safety net within its affluent district.
