Summary:
The 94107 zip code in San Francisco's Potrero Hill and Dogpatch neighborhoods contains six public schools: two elementary schools serving grades K-5 and four high schools, with a notable absence of traditional middle schools.
For families with younger children, the two elementary schools, Webster (Daniel) Elementary and King (Thomas Starr) Elementary, are consistent high performers within the San Francisco Unified district, both earning 4-star ratings and ranking in the top 30% of California elementary schools. In contrast, the high school landscape is more complex and faces greater challenges. Downtown High and S.F. International High serve high-needs populations and have proficiency rates far below state averages, though S.F. International maintains a low student-teacher ratio.
The area also includes two unique schools operated by the sheriff's department, Five Keys Independence High School (SF Sheriff's) and Five Keys Charter (SF Sheriff's), which serve justice-involved youth and show significant improvement at Five Keys Independence. A key finding across all schools is that chronic absenteeism is strongly correlated with lower academic outcomes, with rates varying dramatically from 22% at King Elementary to 88% at Downtown High.
