The Larkspur-Corte Madera School District is a high-performing K-8 school district where all schools have received the most recent California Distinguished Schools Awards and Hall Middle was also named one of two California schools selected as a National Distinguished School. LCMSD is approximately eight miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge in Marin County, California, serving families and students in (most parts of) the cities of Corte Madera and Larkspur. The residents of the Twin Cities community are very supportive of public education. The average per-pupil spending is $18,000. Local revenue from business leases, a parcel tax, and SPARK, the Larkspur-Corte Madera Schools Foundation allow the district to provide exciting enrichment programs at its schools, including visual and performing arts, technology, engineering, social-emotional learning, and world language to its students.

Together with an active parent community, they serve as catalysts for growth who inspire and promote well-rounded, lifelong learners and future citizens of the world through challenging, innovative, rigorous curricula.
