West Marin Elementary

Summary:

West Marin Elementary is a public middle school located in Point Reyes Station, CA, serving grades 2-8 with 121 students. It is part of the Shoreline Unified School District, which is ranked 879 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

West Marin Elementary consistently outperforms the Shoreline Unified School District and the state of California in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across most grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, 46.74% of West Marin Elementary students were proficient or better in ELA End of Course, compared to 39.82% for Shoreline Unified and 47.04% for California. In Mathematics, West Marin Elementary had 31.91% proficiency in End of Course, compared to 24.11% for Shoreline Unified and 35.54% for California. However, the school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.8% to 32.6% over the past few years, which can negatively impact student learning and academic performance.

West Marin Elementary generally outperforms the nearby Kenilworth Junior High and James B. Davidson Middle School in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency. But it lags behind high-performing schools like Hall Middle, Adaline E. Kent Middle, and White Hill Middle, which are in the top 5% of California middle schools. Additionally, the school's performance for Hispanic students and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds is weaker, with lower rankings compared to the state.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
