Summary:
The city of Larkspur, California is home to 4 schools, including 1 middle school, 3 high schools (1 of which is an alternative school), and 0 elementary schools. These schools are part of the Tamalpais Union High and Larkspur-Corte Madera school districts.
Redwood High and Hall Middle are the standout performers in the area, with excellent academic metrics across the board. These schools have consistently high rankings, strong test scores, and very high graduation rates. In contrast, the alternative and continuation high schools, Tamiscal High and San Andreas High, have lower performance metrics, with lower test scores and graduation rates.
The data suggests there is a notable achievement gap between the top-performing schools and the alternative/continuation schools. This is evident in the large disparities in test scores, graduation rates, and other key metrics. The relatively low free/reduced lunch rates at Redwood High and Hall Middle indicate these schools may serve a more affluent student population compared to the alternative/continuation schools. The high chronic absenteeism rate at San Andreas High is a concerning statistic that likely contributes to the school's lower academic performance and graduation rates.
