Summary

Muir (John) Elementary is a K–5 school in San Francisco Unified with 260 students. Its 2025–2026 results vary considerably by subject: math is a relative strength, but the clearest concern is science, where just 10% of students were proficient.

Math stands out favorably against local and public benchmarks: 49% of Muir students were proficient, compared with 38% statewide and 46% in San Francisco Unified. Muir ranked fourth among ten nearby district schools in math, and its result was 11 percentage points above their average. Science was much weaker: Muir’s 10% proficiency rate was 26 points below the state and 34 points below the district; it ranked eighth among nearby schools, whose average was 36%. ELA was also below both benchmarks, at 40% compared with 49% statewide and 54% districtwide, placing fifth among nearby schools.

Results have been broadly flat at the endpoints across the four years reported: math was about 49% in both 2022–2023 and 2025–2026, and science was 10% in both years; ELA slipped by about 1 percentage point. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking fell from the 68th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 52nd in 2025–2026, while its rating stayed at three stars. SchoolDigger also placed English Language Learner Students at the 97th percentile in 2023–2024, versus the school’s overall 68th percentile—a notably higher statewide standing for how well the school served that group that year. For context, 75% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, the third-highest rate among ten nearby schools with comparable data; the 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 22.6, close to the nearby-school average of 22.5.
