Below please find a web-based version of my original publication, laying out the tracks, from TK through high school, for the public schools serving each Marin community. The Guide should assist you in coming quickly up-to-speed in an area that’s opaque but has an extremely weighty impact on home values throughout Marin. In addition to laying out the progression of schools, the Guide displays whether a school has been recognized as a California Distinguished School within the past decade. The “DS” title is held for 2 years. The State didn’t make awards in 2022 on account of the pandemic.
In the “More Information” section, you’ll find links to the California School Dashboard with detailed official reports for each school, the lists of schools awarded the California Distinguished School designation, and the County’s website where you can view property tax bills. A home’s school district can be conclusively determined by review of its property tax bill, which will include an abbreviated reference to levied taxes for the benefit of the home’s school district. To search for a property tax bill, you’ll need the home’s APN; located on the MLS listing and available by calling the assessor’s offices at (415) 473-7215.
Community-Specific Notes:
Some communities have a single elementary school serving all children within community boundaries (examples being Belvedere, Tiburon, Ross, Kentfield, and Greenbrae). Communities that offer several elementary schools may handle enrollment in different ways, for example: (i) enrollment for Mill Valley’s 5 elementary schools is determined, by the district, on a district-wide basis – not definitively by residential address, (ii) enrollment for the elementary schools serving the communities of Fairfax, San Anselmo, San Rafael, and Novato are determined by residential address, and (iii) enrollment between the elementary schools serving Corte Madera and Larkspur is made on a space-available basis in priority to homes within the schools’ attendance parameters. Novato offers 2 middle schools and 2 high schools, enrolled on the basis of residential address, and a K-8 charter school. The greater San Rafael area offers 3 schools covering the middle school years and 2 high schools, each of which are enrolled by residential address. Each other community in Marin has a single middle school and high school track.
User reviews of the county’s schools can be found on websites such as niche.com (Best Public Elementary Schools).
