Summary

Edward R. Taylor Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 564 students in San Francisco's Visitacion Valley/Portola neighborhood, operating as a solid, 3-star school within the San Francisco Unified district.

Taylor stands out significantly from other schools in its immediate area, achieving academic proficiency rates that are dramatically higher. For example, while Taylor's students reached 43% proficiency in English and 41% in Math in 2024-2025, nearby schools like El Dorado Elementary and Hillcrest Elementary reported rates in the single digits or low teens. The school also fosters a strong culture of attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate less than half the district average and far lower than schools such as George Washington Carver Elementary.

The school is particularly effective in supporting English Language Learners and students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. It achieves these strong results while spending less per student than comparison schools like Junipero Serra Elementary and Charles Drew College Preparatory Academy. Areas for continued focus include addressing a performance gap between female and male students and strengthening science instruction, but Taylor's stable performance and efficient operation make it a notable success in its community.
