134^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 2,703 California Middle Schools

Better than 95% of California middle schools

Summary

White Hill Middle serves 601 students in grades 6–8 in Fairfax, Marin County, an area with several high-performing nearby schools. In 2025–26, 81% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 67% in math and 70% in science—about 32, 28 and 34 percentage points above California results. The clearest takeaway is that White Hill achieves far above state averages, while math is its most notable local area for improvement.

Compared with the ten nearby schools, White Hill was above their average in all three subjects: 21 points higher in ELA, 14 in math and 20 in science. But it ranked fourth in ELA, fifth in math and third in science among the 11 schools, including White Hill. Math is the clearest gap with its district, Ross Valley Elementary: White Hill had 67% proficiency, compared with 72% districtwide, a 6-point shortfall. It also trailed Del Mar Middle (79%), Adaline E. Kent Middle (77%), Hall Middle (74%) and Mill Valley Middle (72%) in math. ELA was nearly level with the district, and science was about 1 point higher.

Results improved from 2022–23 to 2025–26: White Hill gained 4 points in ELA, 9 in math and 10 in science. Its lead over the state widened by 1 point in ELA, 5 in math and 4 in science, though that does not erase its math gap with the district. SchoolDigger ranks White Hill 134th of 2,703 statewide, at the 95th percentile with 5 stars; its ranking was 94th percentile in 2023–24 and 93rd in 2024–25. SchoolDigger’s statewide subgroup rankings are lower for Hispanic Students (75th percentile) and Low Socio Economic Status Students (73rd) than White Hill’s 95th-percentile overall standing; the Hispanic Students ranking has fallen from the 85th percentile in 2023–24. For context, White Hill’s 17.3 students per teacher is close to the nearby average of 17.7, and 12% were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, compared with a nearby average of 38%.

What people are saying

Thursday, October 2, 2014

Horrible school. The children are trained to be compliant little robots. Many teachers hate their lives, and take it out on the kids. The principal's main job is shrill & incessant fundraising. Notwithstanding this, rampant grade inflation is the norm, in order to maintain status as a "Distinguished School" (a phony award given to nearly half of California schools). Close Quote
