Summary:

ZIP code 94124 has eight schools—five elementary, one middle and two high schools—serving 1,620 students from elementary through high school, with enrollment ranging from 93 to 475. In 2025–2026, the average proficiency among schools reporting results was 20% in ELA, 11% in math and 9% in science, compared with state benchmarks of 49%, 38% and 36%. The central finding is that local proficiency averages remain about 27 to 30 percentage points below state levels in every subject.

There are clear local leaders, but leading in the ZIP code does not mean matching the state. Drew (Charles) College Preparatory Academy led 2025–2026 ELA at 25% and science at 21%; its science score was 15 percentage points above the other reporting schools’ average, but still 15 points below the state. Harte (Bret) Elementary led math at 19%, about 9 points above the other schools’ average, while remaining 20 points below the state. Carver (George Washington) Elementary was lowest in ELA at 11% and math at 0%. In 2024–2025, KIPP San Francisco College Preparatory stood out: ELA and science were each about 4 points above the state, while math was 16 points below.

Results improved in some areas, but progress was uneven: for six schools with results in both years, average ELA rose 4 percentage points and math rose 1 point; among four schools with science results in both years, science rose 2 points, while the state benchmark rose 3 points. Drew had the largest science gain, 9 points, while Carver had the steepest decline, a 10-point drop in math. SchoolDigger’s reported percentile also rose from 2 to 10 for Drew and from 1 to 9 for Harte and KIPP Bayview Elementary. School characteristics do not follow a simple score pattern: 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible figures averaged 84%, while student-teacher ratios ranged from 9.3 to 23.5; KIPP Bayview Elementary, for example, had a ratio of 15.1 and relatively strong local ELA and math results. Chronic absenteeism was also high: the six reported schools averaged 56%, compared with 18% statewide. Two KIPP secondary schools have no 2025–2026 test results, and the schools serve different grade spans.
