Summary:
Bolinas-Stinson Union has one listed school, Bolinas-Stinson Elementary, a K–8 school with 109 students. Its 2025–26 all-grades proficiency results were above California’s in English language arts (ELA), math and science. The clearest overall takeaway is that the school outperformed the state in all three subjects, with its largest advantage in math: 54% proficient versus 38% statewide, a 16-point gap.
Bolinas-Stinson Elementary is both the top and bottom school in this list by default, so there is no meaningful local school-to-school ranking. Its all-grades results were 62% in ELA versus 49% statewide (+12 points) and 47% in science versus 36% statewide (+11 points). The school was above the state in every reported grade-level comparison, but the size of the lead varied: sixth-grade math had the largest gap, at 63% proficient versus 37% statewide (+25 points), while fifth- and eighth-grade math were each only about 2 points above the state. This variation means the all-grades results do not describe every grade equally well.
Results shifted differently by subject from 2024–25 to 2025–26: science rose 14 points to 47%, math increased 4 points to 54%, and ELA fell 2 points to 62%. SchoolDigger’s rating history also improved most recently: the school moved from the 73rd percentile in both 2023–24 and 2024–25 to the 81st percentile in 2025–26, with four stars in each year shown. Chronic absenteeism was higher than the state rate in 2025–26 (22% versus 18%, a 4-point difference). Other context includes a student-teacher ratio of 19.8 in 2024–25 and a reported free/reduced lunch eligible measure of 39% in 2024–25; these figures do not explain the test results.
