Summary:
Schools in Sausalito Marin City comprise one school, Dr. Martin Luther King Junior Academy, serving kindergarten through grade 8, with 262 students. In 2025–2026, its all-grade proficiency rates were 56% in ELA, 47% in math, and 40% in science, compared with California rates of 49%, 38%, and 36%, respectively. The most important finding is that the school was above the state rate in all three subjects.
There are no separate schools to compare at the top or bottom, so the clearest standouts are among grade-level results. Third-grade math was the strongest, at 79% versus 47% statewide, a 32-point advantage; seventh-grade ELA was 72% versus 51%, 22 points above the state. Results were weaker in eighth grade: math was 20% versus 36% statewide, 16 points below, and science was 27% versus 35%, 9 points below. The overall math lead does not hold in every grade: school math results were above the state in grades 3, 4, 5, and 7, but below it in grades 6 and 8.
Results improved across the two years of available all-grade test data: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the school’s rates rose 8 points in ELA, 7 in math, and 11 in science, while its gaps relative to the state improved by 7, 6, and 8 points, respectively.

As context, the school had a 14.1:1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and 53% free/reduced lunch eligible that year; chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026 was 21%, compared with 18% statewide.
