Summary

Sloat (Commodore) Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 364 students in San Francisco, part of the San Francisco Unified district, known for its consistent above-average performance over the past decade.

The school is a solid community option with notable strengths in mathematics and science, where student proficiency significantly outpaces both district and state averages. It also excels at maintaining strong student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate much lower than many neighboring schools. However, its statewide ranking has seen a recent decline from the 91st to the 77th percentile over the last few years. While still performing well, this trend places it below some nearby high-performing schools like Ulloa Elementary and Clarendon Alternative Elementary. Compared to its closest neighbors, Feinstein (Dianne) Elementary and Lakeshore Alternative Elementary, Sloat serves a moderately diverse population and achieves stronger academic outcomes.

Parents should note that the school achieves these results with relatively efficient per-student spending compared to several area schools. The performance of different student groups varies, with English Language Learners historically performing very well. The main challenges for the school appear to be addressing a recent performance dip for economically disadvantaged students and reversing the overall downward ranking trend while maintaining its core strengths in attendance and specific academic subjects.
