San Rafael City Schools includes the San Rafael Elementary School District and the San Rafael High School District, with a total student population of approximately 7,200. The two districts are governed by one school board and one district office administration. The District consists of one Early Learning Center; six TK-5 schools; a TK-8 school; a middle school; two comprehensive high schools; and a continuation high school. Grounded in our vision for student success, we undertook an extensive journey with our greater community to develop our strategic plan - Together 2024. It describes our District values of equity, community and joy, as well as our culture, goals and strategic actions. The District's Graduate Profile articulates the skills needed to succeed in this rapidly changing world, and we committed to developing these skills so every student graduates ready to pursue their goals. The SRCS community ensures that every student receives an empowering education. High expectations and skillful individualized instruction enable each student to embrace their own learning, think critically and experience success. Our welcoming school climate ensures that our diverse community of students, families, staff and community members are treated with dignity and respect, creating opportunities for participation, engagement and support. Every student graduates college and/or career ready, able to take responsibility for a future that includes life-long learning. Our Values Equity: We honor individual identity and experience, work to address racism in all its forms and to eliminate barriers to student success. Community: We welcome, value and support every member of our district and seek to promote belonging and inclusivity for all. Joy: We engage in meaningful learning through positive energy, enthusiasm, and humor and affirm our individual worth and value.
