Summary:
ZIP code 94559 has one listed middle school, Mayacamas Countywide Middle, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 127 students. In 2025–2026, its all-grade proficiency rates were 32% in English language arts (ELA), 18% in math and 21% in science, compared with California rates of 49%, 38% and 36%. The school was below the state in every subject, with gaps of 17 percentage points in ELA, 20 in math and 15 in science. The most important finding is that the lower results are consistent across all three reported subjects, not limited to one area.
There are no local schools to rank against one another, so Mayacamas Countywide Middle is neither a local standout nor a local low performer. Within its grade-level results, 8th-grade math was the closest to the state: 29% proficient compared with 36%, a 8-point gap. The largest reported ELA or math gap was in 7th grade: math was 14% proficient versus 38% statewide, a 24-point gap, while ELA was 27% versus 51%, a 23-point gap. Eighth-grade math is a relative bright spot for the school, but it still falls below California’s rate; math is the widest overall subject gap, while science is the closest.
The available results do not show whether scores are improving or declining: test data are provided for 2025–2026 only. SchoolDigger ranks the school 2,050th of 2,703 statewide, at the 24th percentile, and gives it one star. Other context includes a 20.3 student-teacher ratio and 44% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; these figures do not explain the test results. Chronic absenteeism was 19% at the school versus 18% statewide in 2025–2026, a 1-point difference. With only one school listed, families cannot compare local school options or determine how these measures relate to differences among schools.
