Summary:
Zip code 94122 in San Francisco is served by seven public schools within the San Francisco Unified district, including five elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school, offering a full K-12 pathway in the area.
The elementary and middle schools here are generally strong, with Yu (Alice Fong) Elementary and Lawton Alternative standing out as top-tier, both ranking in the state's 96th percentile or higher with exceptional test scores and very low chronic absenteeism. Giannini (A.P.) Middle is also a high-performing 94th percentile school, while Key (Francis Scott) Elementary and Jefferson Elementary are solid four-star options. Notably, high academic achievement is found across schools with varying socioeconomic demographics, indicating effective school-level practices.
The most significant concern is at the high school level, where Independence High shows a notable drop in performance, ranking in the 66th percentile with much lower proficiency rates, particularly in math, and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 37.2%. This creates a performance gap for students transitioning from the area's highly-rated middle schools. Parents can be confident in the strong K-8 foundation offered here but should carefully evaluate high school options.
