Summary:
ZIP code 94121 has one high school, Washington (George) High, serving grades 9–12 with 2,068 students. In 2025–26, its graduation rate was 90% and its dropout rate was 8%, both slightly better than state figures, while chronic absenteeism was 36%—18 percentage points higher than the state’s 18%. Most notably, the school’s all-grades proficiency rates were above state results in English language arts (ELA), mathematics, and science.
Because Washington is the only high school in the ZIP code, there is no meaningful local top-or-bottom ranking. Its all-grades results were 67% in ELA, 45% in math, and 51% in science; compared with the state, those were advantages of 18, 6, and 15 percentage points, respectively. Against San Francisco Unified, Washington was 14 points higher in ELA and 8 points higher in science, but 1 point lower in math. The math picture is stronger for grade 11: Washington was 13 points above the state, with advantages of 10 points in ELA and 13 in science.
Recent test-score movement was mixed, with the largest setback in math: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, Washington fell 2 points in ELA and 7 in math, while science rose 2 points; its lead over the state narrowed in all three subjects. Separately, SchoolDigger’s ranking declined from 185th of 2,159 schools (91st percentile) in 2023–24 to 372nd of 2,137 (83rd percentile) in 2025–26, and its rating went from 5 stars to 4. The school’s student–teacher ratio was 22.2:1 in 2024–25, and 52% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that school year; these are useful context, not explanations for its results.
