At 56,000 students, San Francisco Unified School District educates the greatest number of students in the Bay Area, but the results are inconsistent.
For the past seven years, SFUSD has boasted the highest overall academic performance of any large urban district in the state. At the same time, it owns the largest academic achievement gap between Asians and whites on one end, and African Americans and Latinos on the other. These competing realities have led to a natural growth of charter schools in the city, schools that now serve more than 3,500 students. More charters are on the way as charter school waitlist numbers rise and as more parents see charter schools as the most viable education for their kids. A better portfolio of schools is coming to San Francisco…slowly but surely.
