Summary:
The Lagunitas Elementary district in San Geronimo, California, serves students through two small public schools, San Geronimo Valley Elementary (grades K-6) and Lagunitas Elementary (grades K-8), which share a campus and benefit from high per-student funding and favorable class sizes.
Academically, the schools show distinct strengths. Lagunitas Elementary is the stronger overall performer, with proficiency rates in both English and Math that are well above the California state average and also exceed the Lagunitas Elementary district average. San Geronimo Valley Elementary, while scoring lower in those core subjects, excels notably in Science, where its proficiency rate is more than double the state average.
An important area for parent consideration is student attendance, as both schools report rates of chronic absenteeism that are above the state average. The district as a whole ranks very high statewide, indicating a generally strong educational environment, but the performance differences between the two schools on the same campus suggest families may want to look closely at specific grade-level and subject-area results when making decisions.
