Summary

San Francisco Public Montessori is a K–5 school in San Francisco, in San Francisco Unified, with 107 students. Its academic results are mixed: science is a relative strength, while English language arts (ELA) and math trail district and state averages. The clearest concern is fourth grade, where just 21% of students were proficient in ELA and 15% in math in 2025–2026, compared with 50% and 44% in third grade and 54% and 42% in fifth grade, respectively.

Science is the school’s strongest result against nearby schools and the state: 42% were proficient, about 6 percentage points above the state and 2 points below the district; that was the second-highest result among eight nearby K–5 schools, whose average was 25%. ELA proficiency was 42% and math was 35%; both were below state and district results, but above nearby-school averages of 38% in ELA and 32% in math. Attendance is another concern: chronic absenteeism was 37% in 2025–2026, compared with 33% in the district and 18% statewide, and had risen from 34% the year before.

Scores rebounded from 2024–2025 but remain below their 2022–2023 levels: over those four years, ELA fell 18 percentage points, math 15 points, and science 8 points. In 2025–2026, San Francisco Public Montessori ranked 2,823 of 5,804 California schools, at the 51st percentile with 3 stars, according to SchoolDigger. Its 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 26.7:1, the highest among the listed nearby schools, and 52% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. In SchoolDigger’s older statewide measure of how well it served White students, the school ranked at the 48th percentile in 2018–2019, compared with its overall 69th percentile that year.

Monday, April 21, 2014

I have a child here at K. Despites the all transitions had in the past,we have all been very happy there - the school is a special place, a warm, caring place where I have always felt safe leaving my child. SHe has been happy with every single teachers that she have had, so far. The environment is inspired to learn and enjoyed pretty much everything about SFPM. Many of the parents are closely linked with their children and the school and that makes for a fabulous community feeling that translates into a high quality education. Close Quote
