Marin School Scores Near Top in State 
At least 48 Marin schools reported API scores of 800 or more - the state standard for academic achievement - including every elementary school in the Dixie, Novato and Ross Valley districts. As many as 22 schools reported scores of 900 or higher, including every school in the Kentfield, Larkspur, Mill Valley and Reed districts.
 
BUT, sixteen schools in the county failed to meet federal mandates, more than twice as many as last year.
