Summary:
Zip code 94903 has six schools: four elementary schools, one middle school and one high school, serving grades from K–5 through 9–12. The 2025–2026 results show a wide spread: the area’s school-average results were above state results in all three subjects, but achievement varied sharply by school. The clearest sign of that divide is the grade 7 ELA comparison: Miller Creek Middle scored 72%, versus 21% at Venetia Valley K-8, a 50-point gap.
Lucas Valley Elementary led the All Grades results in ELA and math, at 76% and 72%; both were about 10 points above the next-highest school. Vallecito Elementary led science at 66%, about 4 points ahead of Lucas Valley. At the other end, Venetia Valley had the lowest results in all three subjects: 23% in ELA, 27% in math and 19% in science. Across schools, the highest-to-lowest spreads were 53 points in ELA, 45 in math and 46 in science. Mary E. Silveira Elementary was above the state in ELA and math but 5 points below in science. Terra Linda High also stood out in its reported high-school grades: its 11th-grade ELA and math results were 6 and 11 points above state results, and its 12th-grade science result was 19 points above.
Recent results were mixed: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the unweighted school-average ELA result fell 2 points, while math rose 1 point and science was nearly unchanged. State results improved, so the area’s advantage narrowed, particularly in science. SchoolDigger ranked Lucas Valley at the 91st percentile, Vallecito at the 85th and Venetia Valley at the 22nd among California elementary schools in 2025–2026. As context, all six schools reported free/reduced lunch eligibility for 2024–2025, ranging from 10% at Lucas Valley to 88% at Venetia Valley; Terra Linda’s share was 49%, while Vallecito’s was 20%. These figures describe school context, not the cause of results. All Grades comparisons include different grade spans, and the area averages are unweighted rather than enrollment-weighted.
