Support Services
The district has 112 full-time equivalent teachers, 5 site administrators and 60 classified staff. Class size reduction support from state and federal programs has assisted in reducing the student to teacher ratio. Teacher support is offered through the Curriculum Department and the Peer Assistance and Review Program. Each school site offers new teacher support through departments. The English Language Development program offers a strong language acquisition experience to integrate English learners into the academic core curriculum. The comprehensive high schools offer advanced placement, honors and college preparation courses and intensive assistance for students with learning disabilities. Counseling and career services help students appraise job skills and arrange for internships.

Student Achievement
Academic performance for San Rafael District students is measured by a variety of indicators. The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) results, which measure student aptitude for college performance, are consistently higher than California averages: 2002-2003 SAT results were: math 547, verbal 544 with California averages of math 519, verbal 499. Student achievement is also measured by the California STAR testing program and district developed assessment instruments. STAR results are available at the district office or online at the California Department of Education's website: http://star.cde.ca.gov

Community Involvement
Parents, community members and local businesses support the district's schools through contributions to the San Rafael Public Education Foundation. Parents take an active role in the district by volunteering with classroom activities, PTA and Home and School Club programs, site leadership teams and booster clubs. The local business community supports the district by contributing matching donations and serving on school advisory committees.
