Summary

Neil Cummins Elementary is a K–5 school in Corte Madera, California, serving 451 students in the Larkspur-Corte Madera district. Its results are well above California’s in all three tested subjects, but the most important local concern is science, where the school trails its district by 10 percentage points.

English language arts (ELA) is the school’s strongest subject against nearby K–5 schools: it ranks third of eight, with 81% proficient, compared with a nearby-school average of 65%. Math and science rank sixth of eight; the school’s 70% in math is close to the nearby average of 67%, while its 58% in science is below the 60% average. Compared with California, Neil Cummins is ahead by 31 points in ELA, 32 in math and 22 in science. Against its district, however, it is 1 point higher in ELA, 2 points lower in math and 10 points lower in science. The difference is especially clear against nearby same-district Cove: Neil Cummins is 6 points ahead in ELA but 27 points behind in science.

Results have shifted over time: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose by 2 points, math fell by 2 points and science was nearly unchanged. Although Neil Cummins remains well above state levels, its district gap widened in math and science. SchoolDigger gives the school five stars and places it at the 92nd percentile statewide in 2025–2026; four nearby schools rank higher. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 19.3, below the nearby-school average of about 21, and 8% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well the school serves Multi-racial Students was at the 38th percentile in 2022–2023, compared with the school’s 93rd-percentile overall ranking. For Hispanic Students, its measure fell from the 94th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 77th in 2025–2026, while the overall ranking was at the 92nd percentile.
