Summary

Marin's Community is a very small public high school serving grades 7-12 with only 64 students, operated by the Marin County Office of Education in San Rafael, an area otherwise known for high-performing schools.

The school faces significant challenges, with academic proficiency far below state averages and nearby schools like Terra Linda High and Redwood High. Only about 5% of students are proficient in English, and none are proficient in math. Furthermore, the graduation rate is 50%, the dropout rate is 50%, and chronic absenteeism is over 80%, which are all among the worst rates in the state and dramatically higher than other local schools, including other alternative options like Madrone High Continuation.

Despite spending nearly $74,000 per student—roughly triple the amount of surrounding schools—the school's performance has declined steeply over the past decade to now rank in the bottom 1% of California schools. This creates a stark contrast within the community, as it is located very close to top-tier schools in the Tamalpais Union High and San Rafael City High districts, highlighting a pronounced disparity in educational outcomes and resource effectiveness in the area.
