Summary:
Zip code 94956 in Point Reyes Station contains one public school, West Marin Elementary, which serves grades 2 through 8 for this small, rural community.
This school stands out for its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 7%, which is far better than the averages for both the Shoreline Unified district and the state, despite a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Academically, the school consistently outperforms its district, particularly in English Language Arts where over half of students are proficient. It also shows a clear three-year trend of improvement in its statewide ranking.
Performance varies by grade, with notably strong results in 3rd grade math and 6th grade English, but more significant challenges in the 8th grade. With only about 114 students, the school benefits from small class sizes, and its high per-student spending supports a learning environment that has successfully prioritized regular attendance and steady academic progress within the district.
