If you have a young family and are contemplating a move to the San Francisco Bay Area, you should not overlook the allure of Marin County, located just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco. Marin County is popular for a wide range of reasons, and the Marin County public schools are yet another great reason that families with children should carefully consider moving to Marin California.
Local schools are an important part of any community, and the Marin public schools are well above average in terms of scholastic performance of not only California, but the average national public schools, as well. While in many places, Marin included, the private schools tend to be the focus of parents looking for a top-notch education for their kids, no parent of a child attending public schools in Marin County sound be concerned about the quality of education that their child or children are receiving.
The level of education from these schools is as good as it gets for public school systems, and this statement applies for all 19 school districts throughout Marin County. There were over 29,000 registered students in the Marin school system from 2007-08, and those numbers are likely to increase as these schools’ reputations are continuing to build on an already very solid reputation.
Many statistics are made public by the Marin County Office of Education (MCOE), and virtually all of them point to a very positive educational experience. Not only do these schools have great educational systems, but they also have excellent student diversity with less than a 1.0% drop out rate, and above average in virtually every important category. Additionally, the California Department of Education publishes Academic Performance Index (API) score for schools across California and Marin County schools consistently rank ahead of all other San Francisco Bay Area schools and California counties.
These top-rated API results for Marin schools are a reflection of the wonderful academic offerings in Marin California. Additionally, other local and national news stories frequently reference the high quality of education in Marin, including a recent article in Forbes Magazine which named Marin County High Schools the best in the nation.
Many areas can boast of great scenery or a sold cultural scene, but how many can combine that with great schools and actually mean public schools, as opposed to private? Marin County public schools are some of the best around, and any parent considering a move to the San Francisco Bay Area should strongly consider the Marin County Public Schools as another great reason to move to Marin.
