Summary

Sanchez Elementary is a 272-student K–5 public school in San Francisco, part of San Francisco Unified. In 2025–2026, 19% of students were proficient in English language arts, 10% in math, and 6% in science, all well below district and state results. Chronic absenteeism was also high: 53%, compared with 33% in the district and 18% statewide, and the highest reported rate among nearby schools. The central concern is that low achievement across all three subjects coincides with exceptionally high absenteeism.

Results are low compared with both district and state benchmarks: in ELA, Sanchez’s 19% was 35 percentage points below the district and 31 below the state; in math, its 10% was 36 points below the district and 29 below the state; and in science, its 6% was 38 points below the district and 30 below the state. Among nearby K–5 schools, Sanchez was also below the peer averages of 47% in ELA, 44% in math, and 35% in science, by 28, 34, and 29 points, respectively. It ranked near the bottom but was not the lowest in any subject. Its strongest relative comparison was math against the state, though it remained well behind.

Over the four years reported, the state gaps widened in every subject: ELA proficiency fell by 2 points, while math rose by 1 and science by 2; the gaps to the state widened by 5 points in ELA, 2 in math, and 4 in science. SchoolDigger ranked Sanchez at the 2nd percentile statewide in 2025–2026, with 0 stars, down from the 8th percentile the year before. In 2024–2025, its student-teacher ratio was 19.4, lower than those reported for nearby schools, and 81% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. One relative bright spot in SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well the school serves students receiving special education was the 32nd percentile in 2024–2025, versus the school’s overall 8th; that standing fell to the 13th percentile in 2025–2026, compared with 2nd overall.
