Summary:
The Summit Public School: Tamalpais, the sole high school in the Summit Public School: Tamalpais District, serves grades 7-12 and has a total enrollment of 613 students. While the school's four-year graduation rate of 91.3% is slightly higher than the state average, it faces several challenges that may be impacting its overall performance.
The school's statewide ranking has been declining in recent years, dropping from 780 out of 2123 California high schools in 2021-2022 to 1334 out of 2323 in 2023-2024. Additionally, Summit Public School: Tamalpais generally performs below the state average on standardized tests in both English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 29.0% is also significantly higher than the state average, which could be a contributing factor to its academic underperformance.
Furthermore, the school serves a population with a relatively high level of economic disadvantage, with 64.44% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This may present additional challenges in supporting student achievement. The school's student-teacher ratio of 26.7 is also higher than the state average, which could impact the level of individual attention and support available to students.
