Strawberry Point Elementary

Strawberry Point Elementary is a top-rated K-5 public school serving 259 students in the affluent community of Mill Valley, part of the highly-regarded Mill Valley Elementary district, where it consistently ranks in the 98th percentile statewide with over 80% of students proficient in both English and Math.

Within this high-performing district, Strawberry Point stands out for its particularly strong mathematics instruction, outperforming nearby schools like Neil Cummins Elementary and Bel Aire Elementary in that subject. The school also demonstrates exceptional effectiveness with specific student groups, such as students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the 97th percentile statewide for that subgroup. However, its science scores have shown some year-to-year volatility compared to more stable results at schools like Park Elementary.

An interesting finding is that while Strawberry Point has the highest per-student spending in its district, this doesn't always directly correlate with the highest test scores, as Park Elementary achieves similar excellence with lower spending. Parents should note the school's chronic absenteeism rate, while low compared to the state, has been trending upward in recent years. Overall, Strawberry Point represents sustained excellence in an area where all local schools, including those in neighboring districts like Larkspur-Corte Madera, perform well above state averages.
