Summary:
ZIP code 94939 has two high schools in the Tamalpais Union High district: Redwood High, serving grades 9–12, and San Andreas High (Continuation), serving grades 10–12. Their reported results show a sharply divided picture rather than one consistent profile for the area. The most important finding is the large proficiency gap: in 2025–2026, Redwood led San Andreas by 67 percentage points in ELA, 68 in math and 29 in science.
Redwood stands out at the top: 82% of students were proficient in ELA, 68% in math and 64% in science, compared with state rates of 49%, 38% and 36%. San Andreas was much lower in ELA (15%) and math (0%), but its 35% science result was close to the state’s 36%. The contrast also appears in attendance and graduation: Redwood’s graduation rate was 99% and chronic absenteeism was 11%, while San Andreas reported 88% graduation and 85% chronic absenteeism; statewide, those rates were 88% and 18%.
Results moved in different directions across the two reported test years. Redwood improved by 12 points in ELA, 11 in math and 4 in science; San Andreas fell by 2 points in ELA and 6 in math, but gained 23 in science. SchoolDigger ranked Redwood 92nd of 2,137 schools, in the 96th percentile with five stars, and San Andreas 1,623rd, in the 24th percentile with one star. Redwood enrolled 1,722 students and had a 19.3 student–teacher ratio; San Andreas enrolled 46 and had a 7.7 ratio. In 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible students were 8% at Redwood and 20% at San Andreas. These figures are context, not explanations for the results; San Andreas is a small continuation school, and the schools serve different grade spans.
