Summary

Peabody (George) Elementary is a consistently top-ranked K-5 public school serving 269 students in San Francisco's Richmond District, operating within the San Francisco Unified school district.

The school's most remarkable feature is its decade-long record of excellence, placing it in the top 5% of all California elementary schools year after year. Students at Peabody achieve very high proficiency rates, especially in science (86%), and benefit from an exceptionally strong attendance culture, with chronic absenteeism at just 7.2%—far below district and state averages. This consistent success suggests a stable, effective learning environment where students show significant academic growth, particularly between 3rd and 5th grade.

When compared to nearby schools like Grattan Elementary or Jefferson Elementary, Peabody stands out for its balanced strength across all subjects and its sustained high ranking. While other schools, such as the Chinese Immersion School at DeAvila, may excel in specific areas like math, Peabody's overall performance and low absenteeism rate are key differentiators that point to a comprehensively successful school program.
