Sheridan Elementary

Summary:

Sheridan Elementary is a public elementary school in San Francisco, California, serving 183 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the San Francisco Unified School District, which is ranked 651 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

Sheridan Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, lower-than-average academic performance across all grade levels and subject areas, and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 27.03% of Sheridan students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 53.73% for the district and 47.04% for the state. When compared to nearby schools within the San Francisco Unified School District, such as Sunnyside Elementary, which had 63.75% of students proficient or better in the same subject, Sheridan consistently performs worse academically.

Despite being located in the same school district, Sheridan Elementary is in close proximity to higher-performing schools, such as Sloat (Commodore) Elementary and George Washington Elementary, which are part of the Jefferson Elementary School District. These schools consistently outperform Sheridan in academic measures, which may be due to the high rates of chronic absenteeism and the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Sheridan Elementary.

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.

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.
