Summary

West Marin Elementary is a small, rural school serving grades 2 through 8 with just 114 students in Point Reyes Station, and it stands out for achieving solid academic results while serving a community where a high percentage of families face economic challenges.

The school has shown steady improvement in recent years and now outperforms both its own Shoreline Unified district and the state average in several subjects. A major strength is its exceptional student attendance; with a chronic absenteeism rate of only 7%, it far surpasses most nearby schools like Kenilworth Junior High (15.6%) and Petaluma Junior High (17.4%). Academically, it performs better than schools with similar student demographics, such as James B. Davidson Middle, particularly in English Language Arts.

While the school invests significantly more per student than many comparables, this supports a favorable student-teacher ratio. It's important to note that performance varies by grade, with sixth graders excelling but eighth graders facing more significant challenges. Overall, West Marin Elementary is a consistently improving school within its district, distinguished by its strong community attendance and its ability to support its students' academic growth.
