Lagunitas Elementary

Public Grades K-8

Summary

Lagunitas Elementary is a small, highly-rated K-8 school serving 68 students in the rural San Geronimo area, distinguished by its strong academic performance and intimate, community-focused environment.

The school consistently outperforms state averages in English, math, and science, and achieves better results than some neighboring schools with similar student demographics, such as San Geronimo Valley Elementary within the same Lagunitas Elementary district. This suggests effective school-level programs and teaching. However, the school faces a notable challenge with chronic student absenteeism, which, while improving, is higher than at many top-performing schools in the region like Wade Thomas Elementary.

As a small K-8 campus, Lagunitas offers a close-knit setting with a low student-teacher ratio, but it operates with higher per-student spending compared to larger districts like Ross Valley Elementary. The school has shown impressive recovery and stabilization in its test scores following the pandemic. For families, the key considerations are the proven academic strength within a small community and the school's active focus on further improving student attendance.
