Summary:
The Reed Union Elementary district in affluent Tiburon, California, consists of three high-performing schools serving grades K-8: Reed Elementary (K-2), Bel Aire Elementary (3-5), and Del Mar Middle (6-8).
All three schools earn top 5-star ratings, with academic proficiency rates roughly double the California state averages. Del Mar Middle stands out as the top performer, ranking in the 98th percentile statewide with exceptional test scores, the lowest student-teacher ratio (11.6:1), and the highest per-student spending. Bel Aire Elementary also shows strong, consistent performance in the 94th percentile, while Reed Elementary serves the youngest students and maintains the district's lowest chronic absenteeism rate.
The district benefits from very high per-student funding and remarkably low chronic absenteeism, less than half the state average. This consistent excellence across all grade levels, with a specialized school for each developmental band, makes the Reed Union Elementary district a model of high-achieving public education where student outcomes significantly exceed state benchmarks.
