Summary:

The New School of San Francisco is a high-performing public charter elementary school serving 439 students in grades K-7 in San Francisco, CA. Part of the The New School of San Francisco District, the school has consistently ranked in the top 15% of California elementary schools over the past 4 years, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The New School of San Francisco significantly outperforms the state average on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas.

However, students from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform slightly below the state average. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 19.9, compared to the nearby San Francisco Unified schools which range from 16.8 to 30.5 students per teacher.

The New School of San Francisco's consistent high performance over the past 4 years suggests the school has established effective teaching practices and curriculum. While the school outperforms nearby public schools in the San Francisco Unified District on most academic measures, the lower performance of economically disadvantaged students is an area that could benefit from further investigation and targeted interventions. Given the school's strong academic performance and relatively low student-teacher ratio, there may be an opportunity to expand the school's enrollment or replicate the model at additional locations to serve more students in the San Francisco area.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
