• Tamalpais Union students improve state test results (marinij.com) — Families in Kentfield's Tamalpais Union High School District are seeing a strong rebound in 11th-grade state test scores, with big gains in both English and math across local campuses. Participation rates also climbed back to the mid-90% range after earlier state penalties, though one alternative school still faces challenges. District leaders credit focused outreach and renewed student effort for the turnaround.
