School Overview

San Marin High sits in the quieter, more suburban side of Marin County, where Novato offers a laid-back Northern California lifestyle without the sticker shock of Tiburon or Mill Valley. The school punches solidly above average statewide, with particularly strong science scores, making it a good fit for families who want a well-rounded public high school experience in a community that feels genuinely neighborhoody. It tends to appeal to families who appreciate Marin's outdoor access and tight-knit feel but are looking for a more grounded, less pressure-cooker environment than some of the county's higher-profile districts.
