Summary

Edna Maguire Elementary is a top-tier K-5 public school with 399 students, located in the highly desirable and affluent community of Mill Valley within the exceptional Mill Valley Elementary district.

This school consistently ranks in the top 5% of all California elementary schools, with students significantly outperforming state averages in English, math, and science. It shows particular strength in mathematics, where its proficiency rate actually exceeds the district average. The school is also notably effective in supporting specific student groups, with special education students ranking in the 96th percentile statewide. While its chronic absenteeism rate is higher than some district peers, it has improved markedly since the pandemic and remains well below the state average.

When compared to its immediate neighbors in the same high-performing district—like Old Mill Elementary, Tamalpais Valley Elementary, Park Elementary, and Strawberry Point Elementary—Edna Maguire's academic rankings are slightly lower, but this is a difference among elite schools. A stark contrast exists just a few miles away in the Sausalito Marin City district, where Dr. Martin Luther King Junior Academy faces different challenges, highlighting significant local disparities in educational resources and outcomes.

What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, April 4, 2011

Edna Maguire is a wonderful, caring community. Most of the teachers are exceptional, and the parent community is extremely involved. EM has-for Mill Valley and Marin anyway--a relatively diverse group of students (about 30% diverse) and some of the strongest API scores in the county. EM also, thanks to KIDDO, has a number of art, music and movement classes that round out the curriculum. I do think the principal could be stronger, but after struggling with the decision between public and private school, I am very pleased. Close Quote
