Summary:
The elementary-school listing for ZIP code 94965 includes one school, Dr. Martin Luther King Junior Academy, a K–8 school in the Sausalito Marin City district. With no other school in the list, there is no school-to-school top or bottom comparison. The most important finding is that in 2025–2026, the school’s all-grades results were above California’s in all three reported subjects: by 7 percentage points in English language arts (ELA), 9 points in math, and 4 points in science.
Math shows the school’s largest advantage over the state, while ELA has its highest overall score: the school scored 47% in math versus 38% statewide, and 56% in ELA versus 49% statewide; science was 40% versus 36%. However, these all-grades results mask notable grade-level differences. Third-grade math was 79%, 32 points above the state result, while eighth-grade math was 20%, 16 points below the state. Eighth-grade ELA and science were also below state results, by 3 and 9 points, respectively. Families should note that results vary considerably by grade and subject.
Results improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 in every subject: Dr. Martin Luther King Junior Academy gained 8 points in ELA, 7 in math, and 11 in science. The school also moved from below the state in ELA and science to above it, while its math advantage widened. SchoolDigger’s ranking improved from 1,840th of 5,869 schools in 2023–2024 to 1,698th of 5,804 in 2025–2026; its percentile rose from 69th to 71st and its rating from 3 to 4 stars. Other useful context: enrollment is 262, chronic absenteeism was 21% compared with 18% statewide in 2025–2026, and the student–teacher ratio was 14.1 in 2024–2025. The school reported 53% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; statewide, all students receive free school meals. These figures describe the school but do not explain its test results.
