Summary

Alamo Elementary serves 390 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in San Francisco, as part of San Francisco Unified. In 2025–2026, its proficiency rates were above the district and state in ELA, math, and science, but its results compared less favorably with nearby K–5 schools in ELA and math. Its clearest distinction is science: Alamo had the highest science proficiency among the eight nearby K–5 schools.

Alamo’s 2025–2026 proficiency was 67% in ELA, 65% in math, and 72% in science, compared with state rates of 49%, 38%, and 36%, respectively, and district rates of 54%, 46%, and 44%. But against nearby K–5 averages, Alamo was 3 points lower in ELA (67% versus 70%) and 4 points lower in math (65% versus 69%); in science, it was 12 points higher (72% versus 61%). Grade-level results point to a specific concern: fourth-grade ELA was 62%, the lowest among nearby K–5 schools and 9 points below their average. Third-grade math was also the lowest locally, at 61% compared with a nearby average of 73%.

Results have moved in different directions over time: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA fell 5 percentage points and math fell 4, while science rose 23. SchoolDigger rates Alamo at the 86th percentile, with 4 stars and a rank of 788 out of 5,804 California schools; six of the ten nearby schools have higher percentiles. Chronic absenteeism rose 5 points to 17% in 2025–2026, below the state’s 18% but higher than all but one nearby school. Alamo’s student–teacher ratio was 23.2 in 2024–2025, close to the nearby average of 23.7, and 41% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, compared with a nearby average of 36%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well the school serves Asian students was notably lower than its overall ranking: the Asian Students percentile was 39, versus 86 overall, in 2025–2026. Its Low Socio Economic Status Students ranking also fell, from the 90th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 72nd in 2025–2026.
