SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,817 California Elementary Schools

Better than 96% of California elementary schools

Summary

Yu (Alice Fong) Elementary serves 594 students in grades K–8 in San Francisco. Its strongest distinction is its all-grades English and math performance: it has the highest reported results among the nearby schools in both subjects.

Academically, Yu is well ahead of district and state results. Its proficiency is 83% in English Language Arts, compared with 54% for San Francisco Unified and 49% statewide; in math, Yu’s 79% compares with 46% districtwide and 38% statewide. Lawton Alternative is the next-highest nearby school in both subjects, at 80% in English and 76% in math. Science is a relative weakness compared with Yu’s other subjects and its nearby peers: 61% is about the nearby-school average, and Yu ranks fifth among the 11 schools. Still, it exceeds district science proficiency of 44% and the state’s 36%. Chronic absenteeism is also low: 9%, versus 33% districtwide and 18% statewide.

Results have risen since 2022–2023 by about 1 percentage point in English, 3 points in math and 3 points in science, but each subject declined from 2024–2025, most notably science, down 7 points. SchoolDigger ranks Yu 249th of 5,804 California schools, at the 96th percentile with 5 stars; the district earns 3 stars. Yu’s 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio is 25.5, compared with a nearby-school average of 24.3. Its Free/reduced lunch eligible share was 37% in 2024–2025, above the nearby-school average of 32%; these are contextual measures, not explanations for results. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well Yu serves Asian Students places the school at the 62nd percentile, notably below its overall 96th percentile. For Multi-racial Students, it is at the 81st percentile, up from 61 in 2023–2024, despite a recent decline from 87 in 2024–2025.
