Summary:

ZIP code 94131 has seven schools: five elementary schools serving K–5 (with Rooftop serving K–8) and two high schools serving grades 9–12. Results vary widely across the area: grade 4 elementary proficiency spans 49 percentage points in both ELA and math, and grade 11 math differs by 49 points between the high schools. The clearest overall finding is that Clarendon Alternative Elementary leads every shared grade 3–5 ELA and math comparison, plus grade 5 science.

Asawa SF School of the Arts leads the high schools in all three 2025–26 All Grades subjects, with 84% proficient in ELA, 54% in math and 73% in science; it is 35 points above the state in ELA and 37 points above in science. Clarendon is also well above the state in all three subjects: 78% in ELA, 72% in math and 80% in science. At the other end, Glen Park Elementary has the lowest elementary All Grades ELA and math results, at 43% and 33%, while Academy @McAteer has 5% math proficiency, 33 points below the state. Huerta Elementary is mixed: its ELA is just below the state, while math and science are above it.

Recent changes offer a useful contrast: elementary schools’ average science result rose from 47% to 59% between 2024–25 and 2025–26, while the two high schools’ average math result fell from 44% to 30%. Academy’s math declined 18 points, whereas Asawa’s fell 11; Academy’s student–teacher ratio is 9.9, compared with Asawa’s 20.2, so the lower ratio does not coincide with stronger reported results. SchoolDigger ranks Asawa at the 95th percentile and Clarendon at the 93rd, both with five stars; Academy is at the 43rd percentile with two stars. For context, 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible shares range from 22% at Asawa to 56% at Academy, and Mission Education Center reports 65%; these figures do not by themselves explain school results. Mission’s 2025–26 test results are suppressed, and elementary schoolwide comparisons include different grade spans.
