Four rural school districts serve the agricultural communities in the central corridor of Marin County. Each district has only one school. Laguna, Lincoln and Union Joint School Districts provide an educational program for kindergarten through sixth grade. Students entering grades seven, eight and high school are served by the Petaluma Joint Union High School District. The Nicasio School District, the largest of the four schools, has combination classrooms and provides an education program for kindergarten through eighth grade. These students reside in the Tamalpais Union High School District. The four rural school districts have a combined enrollment of approximately 125 students.

Student Achievement
Due to the unique nature of each school community, individual student progress is primarily assessed through classroom assignments, portfolios, projects and individual learning plans as well as standardized tests. Teachers hold conferences with parents and send home progress reports cards on a regularly scheduled basis. Students grades 2-11 also participate in the STAR (State Testing and Reporting) Program. STAR results are available at each district office or online at the California Department of Education's website: http://star.cde.ca.gov

Community Involvement
Teachers, students, parents and board members work together throughout the year to provide activities that create a sense of community. Jointly sponsored activities include the annual Harvest Festival, picture day, field trips, physical fitness day and holiday plays.
