Summary

Neil Cummins Elementary is a top-ranked K-5 public school serving 451 students in the affluent community of Corte Madera, part of the highly-regarded Larkspur-Corte Madera School District.

The school consistently achieves high academic scores, but what truly sets it apart is its exceptional student engagement and support systems. It has a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 3.7%, which is less than half the district average and far better than nearby schools like Cove (11.7%) and Bel Aire Elementary (9.7%). Furthermore, Neil Cummins excels in supporting special education students, ranking in the 98th percentile statewide, demonstrating strong outcomes for all learners. It achieves these excellent results efficiently, spending less per student than several comparable schools in the area.

While the school's performance is stable and strong across all subjects, an interesting pattern shows proficiency tends to be highest in 3rd grade and slightly lower in 4th and 5th grades, suggesting a focus area for continued growth. Compared to its closest peer, Cove Elementary in the same district, Neil Cummins has similar academic rankings but achieves significantly better attendance with slightly fewer resources. The school's performance highlights a broader regional trend where schools in higher-spending districts like Mill Valley Elementary and Reed Union Elementary consistently rank at the top.
