Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
Most rating sites would stop at “47% proficient” and call it done. West Marin deserves a closer read. The school sits in Point Reyes Station, where two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
West Marin's low-income kids hit 56.5% proficiency in ELA — a number the same group reaches at 38.2% statewide. If you're trying to read past zip-code-driven test scores, that's the signal worth weighing.
