Summary

Stevenson (Robert Louis) Elementary is a top-performing K-5 public school in San Francisco's Sunset District, serving 442 students with a consistent record of academic excellence within the San Francisco Unified district.

The school stands out for its exceptional support for all students, particularly those who may need extra help; it ranks in the 95th percentile statewide for both low-income and special education students, and has historically excelled with English learners. This effective support translates into strong test scores that beat both district and state averages by a wide margin, and the school maintains remarkably low chronic absenteeism at 6.9%, far better than most neighbors like West Portal Elementary (9.6%) or Feinstein (Dianne) Elementary (12.8%). Stevenson achieves these excellent results efficiently, spending less per student than several nearby schools while still outperforming them academically.

While Stevenson is part of a high-performing cluster of schools including Sunset Elementary and Lawton Alternative, it holds its own with a decade of stable, high rankings. An interesting point for families is that while the school's Asian students perform well, their relative ranking compared to Asian students across California is not as high as the school's overall elite standing, which may differ from specialized programs like Yu (Alice Fong) Elementary. Overall, Stevenson represents a reliably excellent neighborhood school that successfully supports a diverse student body.
