Summary:

Zip code 94977 has one listed school, Tamiscal High (Alternative), serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 124 students. With no other listed school, there is no meaningful local school-to-school ranking. The main finding is that Tamiscal’s 2025–2026 all-grade proficiency was above the state average in all three subjects: ELA was 87% versus 49% statewide, mathematics was 58% versus 38%, and science was 58% versus 36%—advantages of 38, 20 and 22 percentage points, respectively.

Tamiscal is the only school in the list, so it is both the highest and lowest locally; compared with the Tamalpais Union High district, its results are mixed.

Mathematics shifted from below the state average to well above it.
