In San Francisco's 94116 zip code, families will find one public middle school, Hoover (Herbert) Middle, serving grades 6-8 within the San Francisco Unified School District.
Hoover Middle is a consistently high-performing school, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the top 20% of California middle schools for the past three years. The school's students outperform both district and state averages in English and Math, with particularly strong results in 8th-grade English.

The substantial per-student investment by the district appears to be yielding excellent returns, as evidenced by the school's stable performance across all grade levels. While science scores are slightly below the district average, they remain above the state average, indicating an area for potential growth alongside the school's many strengths.
