Summary

Malcolm X Academy is a small public elementary school serving about 100 students in grades K-5 within the San Francisco Unified school district, located in the Bayview/Hunters Point neighborhood.

The school faces significant challenges, ranking in the bottom 7% of all California schools, with very low proficiency rates in English, math, and science. A major concern is chronic absenteeism, with over 60% of students missing too much school, a rate more than double the district average and among the highest of any nearby school. This is particularly striking when compared to schools like King (Thomas Starr) Elementary, which has an absenteeism rate of 22%. Academically, Malcolm X Academy's performance lags far behind most neighboring schools; for example, King (Thomas Starr) Elementary has proficiency rates two to six times higher.

Interestingly, Malcolm X Academy receives more funding per student than most comparison schools and has a favorable student-teacher ratio, suggesting resources are available. The school's performance has declined sharply since 2017, and it is located very close to another severely struggling school, Carver (George Washington) Elementary, indicating possible shared community-wide challenges. However, the strong performance of some other district schools with similar demographics shows improvement is possible with effective strategies.
