Summary:
Zip code 94941 in Mill Valley, California, is served by one public high school, Tamalpais High, a 9-12 grade school in the Tamalpais Union High district with 1,470 students.
Tamalpais High is a standout school with an exceptional 98.6% graduation rate, far surpassing the state average, and consistently ranks among the top high schools in California. It shows particular strength in English, where over 70% of students are proficient. However, its statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, and its math performance, while above the state average, is an area for potential improvement compared to its English results.
Key insights for parents include the school's very high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, which indicate significant resources. A notable point for investigation is a sharp drop in science proficiency in 12th grade compared to 11th grade. While chronic absenteeism is lower than the state average, it is higher than the district average, which may be a factor in its recent ranking dip. Overall, the school provides a high-quality education with strong outcomes, especially in graduation rates and English.
