Summary

Malcolm X Academy is a small elementary school in San Francisco, California, serving 97 students in grades K–5. Chronic absenteeism is a major concern: in 2025–2026, 62% of students were chronically absent, compared with 33% in San Francisco Unified and 18% statewide. The most important academic finding is that proficiency was below district and state levels in every tested subject, and below nearby K–5 school averages in ELA, math and science.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject in comparison with nearby K–5 schools, while math is its weakest relative result. In 2025–2026, 18% of Malcolm X students were proficient in ELA, versus a 29% nearby-school average, 54% in the district and 49% statewide. In math, 8% were proficient, compared with nearby, district and state figures of 23%, 46% and 38%. Science proficiency was 7%, versus 20% nearby, 44% in the district and 36% statewide; science was closest to the state result. Absenteeism was the second-highest among Malcolm X and 10 nearby schools, behind Carver (George Washington) Elementary.

Results have improved in some areas over four years, but progress is uneven: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA proficiency rose from 12% to 18% and science from 0% to 7%, while math remained about 8%; the math gap to the state widened from 27 to 31 percentage points. Chronic absenteeism fell from 89% in 2021–2022 to 62%, but remains high. SchoolDigger placed Malcolm X at the 3rd percentile, with 0 stars, in 2025–2026; it was third-lowest among 11 nearby schools. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 17.6, below the nearby-school average of 23. In 2024–2025, 81% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch, compared with 74% at nearby schools on average. One notable exception in SchoolDigger’s statewide group rankings: its ranking for how well it serves African American students was at the 38th percentile in 2023–2024, versus the school’s overall 2nd percentile that year. With 97 students, individual grade results may be sensitive to small numbers.
