Summary:
Bolinas, California, is served by one public school, Bolinas-Stinson Elementary, a K-8 school in the rural coastal Bolinas-Stinson Union district, providing a close-knit educational environment for its 109 students.
Bolinas-Stinson Elementary is a consistently high-performing school, earning a 4-star rating for three consecutive years and ranking in the 70th percentile statewide. It notably outperforms California averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with particularly strong results in 5th and 7th grade reading. The school operates within a district that also ranks above average, placing in the 78th percentile.
Despite its academic strengths, the school faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, which is higher than the state average. It also shows some variability in subject performance, with math scores in certain grades dipping below the state benchmark, while science scores are only slightly above average. The school's very high per-student spending reflects a substantial investment in education, which appears to support its strong overall academic outcomes in this small, rural community.
