Summary

Wallenberg (Raoul) Traditional High is a public high school serving 522 students in grades 9-12 within the diverse San Francisco Unified school district, consistently earning strong 4-star ratings for its academic performance.

The school stands out in its area for its high graduation rate of 84.3%, which is significantly stronger than nearby schools like Wells (Ida B.) High (45.4%) and the district average. Academically, Wallenberg's proficiency rates in English (56.12%) and Math (41.49%) are well above both state averages and those of many surrounding schools, including Mission High and O'Connell (John) High. It achieves these results with moderate per-student spending compared to some peers, indicating efficient use of resources.

While Wallenberg's overall performance is strong, there are areas to watch, such as a recent increase in chronic absenteeism and varying performance among different student groups, with notable strengths in supporting Special Education students. Its statewide ranking has declined in recent years, a trend seen across the district. However, compared to most other local options such as Independence High and Galileo High, Wallenberg remains a consistently high-performing choice for families in San Francisco.
