Summary

Redding Elementary is a K–5 school with 240 students in San Francisco, part of San Francisco Unified. Its 2025–2026 results were well below district and state levels in every tested subject, and 56% of students were chronically absent, compared with 33% in the district and 18% statewide. The most important finding is that very low achievement across subjects coincides with the highest reported chronic absenteeism among nearby schools.

Math is Redding’s relative bright spot, while ELA has the largest shortfall against every benchmark; science has the lowest proficiency rate. In 2025–2026, Redding’s results were 15% in ELA, 16% in math, and 6% in science. ELA was 39 points below the district, 34 below the state, and 29 below the nearby-school average of 44%. Math was 29 points below the district, 22 below the state, and 21 below the nearby average of 37%. Science was 37 points below the district, 30 below the state, and 25 below the nearby average of 31%. Redding had the lowest nearby-school result in ELA and science; two nearby schools scored lower in math.

Results have declined overall from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026: ELA fell 16 points, math 14, and science 19, although math improved 8 points in the latest year. Chronic absenteeism rose from 38% in 2023–2024 to 56% in 2025–2026, an 18-point increase. SchoolDigger ranked Redding in the 3rd statewide percentile and gave it 0 stars in 2025–2026, down from the 37th percentile in 2023–2024; the district ranked in the 55th percentile and had 3 stars. In 2024–2025, Redding’s student–teacher ratio was 26.6, compared with a nearby-school average of 22.8, and 70% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings also show notable differences over time: Asian Students ranked in the 3rd percentile in 2021–2022, compared with the school’s overall 48th percentile, while Hispanic Students’ ranking shifted from the 74th percentile in 2017–2018 to the 0th in 2025–2026. These rankings describe measured standing for each group relative to statewide peers.
