Summary:
The city of Point Reyes Station, California is home to two schools: West Marin Elementary, a middle school serving grades 2-8, and Inverness Elementary, a smaller elementary school serving only grades K-1. Based on the available data, West Marin Elementary appears to be the standout school, outperforming the Shoreline Unified School District and the state of California in several key metrics.
West Marin Elementary has higher performance on Smarter Balanced Assessments, particularly in English Language Arts/Literacy, and its 3-year statewide ranking places it in the top half of California middle schools. The school also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate and a more favorable student-teacher ratio compared to Inverness Elementary. While West Marin Elementary has a higher percentage of students eligible for free and reduced lunch, it is still able to achieve better academic outcomes, suggesting the school is effectively supporting its student population.
In contrast, Inverness Elementary, the smaller elementary school, has less available data but indicates a higher chronic absenteeism rate and a less favorable student-teacher ratio. The data suggests that West Marin Elementary is the stronger performing school in the area, providing a higher quality of education for its students. However, with only two schools in the data set, it is difficult to draw broader conclusions about the overall education landscape in Point Reyes Station, and further analysis of additional schools in the region would be necessary to gain a more comprehensive understanding.
