San Marino Unified School District is a school district located in San Marino, California.
According to the California Department of Education, SMUSD outperforms the state average across most metrics. [3] [4] However, the school district underperforms in English proficiency and 10.4% of students aren't fluent in English. [4] [3] [5]
In 2015, SMUSD was the highest performing school district in California. [6]
Schools
The district consists of two elementary schools ( K.L. Carver Elementary School & Valentine Elementary School), one middle school ( Henry E. Huntington Middle School) and one high school ( San Marino High School). [7]
History
The first school opened in San Marino, California on September 9, 1917 at the 'Old Mayberry Home'. [8] The small school had thirty-five students and three teachers, teaching from kindergarten to 8th grade. Until 1956, San Marino students attended South Pasadena High School, then called South Pasadena-San Marino High School. [8]
In 1950, South Pasadena, California residents voted against allocating funds to expand South Pasadena-San Marino High School. [9] This led to San Marino residents voting to secede from South Pasadena Unified School District to form SMUSD in 1951. [9] South Pasadena residents subsequently approved the funding in 1954 but the decision to form SMUSD was already made. [9]
Board of education
San Marino Unified School District's Board of Education members are elected at-large and to a four-year term. The elections are plurality and are held on a Tuesday after the first Monday in November of even-numbers years effective with the 2018 election.
