The Shoreline Unified School District is a unique school district serving approximately 500 students from TK-12th grade. The district spans over 450 square miles and straddles both coastal Marin and Sonoma counties. As a geographically large, rural school district, we consistently focus on meeting the needs of our students despite the challenges posed by the widespread and remote nature of the communities that comprise our district. These communities are supportive of our schools, and there is no greater example of that commitment than the local scholarship program that routinely awards over $300,000 to an average of thirty-five graduating seniors. In addition, our schools often the school serve as a central meeting point for students and students and families.

There are five schools that comprise four school areas within the Shoreline Unified School District. West Marin and Inverness Schools combine to offer a TK-8 program for all of the students in the Olema, Point Reyes, Inverness Park, Inverness, and Marshall communities. Tomales Elementary School is a TK-8 program that serves student from the Dillon Beach, Tomales, Petaluma/Bloomfield, and Valley Ford communities, as well as a few students whose families are stationed at the Two Rock coast guard base. In both schools, there are single classrooms for each grade, and students are often promoted into high school after spending nine years together in the same class. Bodega Bay School is a two-room school that offers multi-grade classrooms for students TK-2 and 3-5. Those students then attend TES for middle school. All students matriculate into Tomales High School, the one comprehensive high school in the district. In addition, roughly twenty percent of our student body is comprised of interdistrict transfer students who choose our programs for the small, close-knit and supportive nature that our learning program provides. It is often said that Shoreline schools provide a private school experience for our students and families.
