Summary:
Zip code 94115 has eight schools—four elementary, two middle and two high—serving kindergarten through grade 12; some cross those categories, including Creative Arts Charter (K–8) and KIPP San Francisco Bay Academy (grades 5–8). In the 2024–2025 all-grades snapshot, the eight-school averages were 48% in English language arts (ELA) and 33% in science, close to state figures of 49% and 33%; math averaged 33%, below the state’s 37%. The clearest shared challenge is math: among the four schools with 2025–2026 results, the average was 31%, compared with 38% statewide.
The top and bottom schools depend on the subject. In 2024–2025, Gateway High led ELA at 68%, while San Francisco Public Montessori had the lowest result at 35%; Gateway was 19 percentage points above the state, while Montessori was 14 points below. Wallenberg (Raoul) Traditional High had the highest math result at 41%, while Gateway High was lowest at 21%. In science, Creative Arts Charter led at 42%, and KIPP was lowest at 20%. Creative Arts also stands out in a grade-matched comparison: its grades 6–8 averages were 64% in ELA and 41% in math, versus state averages of 49% and 36%. Gateway High shows the opposite subject pattern, with top ELA but the lowest math.
Recent changes vary by school. For the same four schools with two years of scores, the average was about unchanged in ELA and fell 2 points each in math and science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026. Montessori improved in all three subjects—8 points in ELA, 10 in math and 11 in science—while Wallenberg fell 12 points in ELA and 16 in math. Attendance is another concern in those four schools: chronic absenteeism averaged 43%, versus 18% statewide, and reached 55% at Cobb (William L.) Elementary. All eight reported the same low-income measure, free/reduced lunch eligible, for 2024–2025; rates ranged from 28% at Creative Arts to 93% at KIPP, a contextual difference that does not explain school results. Only four schools have 2025–2026 school-wide test results.
