Summary

Yick Wo Elementary is a 205-student K–5 public school in San Francisco, part of San Francisco Unified. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were above both district and California levels in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, placing it near the top of nearby schools. The most important takeaway: students’ results are strong compared with state and district benchmarks, though a nearby school leads in all three subjects.

Yick Wo is especially strong against state and district benchmarks in math: 63% of students were proficient, 25 percentage points above the state and 17 above the district. ELA proficiency was 67%—18 points above the state—and science was 54%, also 18 points above the state. Among nearby same-district schools with reported scores, Yick Wo ranked second in ELA and science and third in math. Chin (John Yehall) Elementary led with 83% in ELA and math and 61% in science; Lau (Gordon J.) Elementary was just ahead in math at 63%. Within Yick Wo, third-grade ELA is a relative weak spot: 55%, compared with 72% in fifth grade, although third-grade results were still above state and district levels.

Results have improved most in science: proficiency rose 12 percentage points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, compared with 3 points in ELA and 1 point in math; math peaked in 2023–2024 before declining. SchoolDigger ranks Yick Wo at the 84th statewide percentile with 4 stars, second among nearby schools with reported rankings; its percentile was 92 in 2021–2022 and has stayed between 82 and 86 in the four most recent reported years. In 2024–2025, its student-teacher ratio was 20.5, below the nearby-school average of 22.0, and 45% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings differ notably: it rated the school at the 31st percentile for how well it serves Asian students, versus the 84th overall, and at the 93rd percentile for how well it serves Low Socio Economic Status Students.
