Summary:
The 94112 zip code in San Francisco contains 11 public schools serving grades K-12, including 7 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools, primarily within the San Francisco Unified district.
This area features a stark contrast in school performance. Balboa High and Sunnyside Elementary are clear standouts, both earning 4-star ratings with test scores well above district and state averages. On the other end, Cleveland Elementary and Jordan (June) School for Equity face significant challenges, with very low proficiency rates and high chronic absenteeism, particularly at Jordan where over 60% of students are chronically absent.
Key findings show no clear link between high per-student spending and strong results, and middle school may be a concern as Denman (James) Middle performs below district averages. The high schools show extreme variation, from Balboa's exceptional 93% graduation rate to the struggles at Jordan. While many higher-poverty schools face hurdles, Monroe Elementary demonstrates that strong academic performance is possible even with a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
