Summary:
The 94965 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Dr. Martin Luther King Junior Academy, which serves grades K-8 and has a total enrollment of 318 students. The school is part of the Sausalito Marin City District, which is ranked 823 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Dr. Martin Luther King Junior Academy's academic performance is mixed, with some grade levels performing significantly above the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, while others struggle. The school's 5th grade students excel, with 70.59% proficient or better in both ELA and Math, but 7th and 8th grade Math scores are well below the state average. The school's Science scores on the California Science Test (CAST) also vary, with 5th grade performing better than the state average but 8th grade performing worse.
One area of concern for the school is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school serves a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, with 46.54% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's academic performance and other challenges, and should be considered when evaluating the school's needs and potential interventions.
