This school is mediocre at best, don't get me wrong, there are some great caring teachers here, but when legitimate mature students are treated with little respect and rights I really can't recommend this school. If they can call this a 'community' then I say I can justly call it 'communist'. I'm an 8th grade student who has been here since kindergarten and have watched the school go downhill.
We love SFCS, and so does our child. We put it top in the lottery and it has been all that we hoped. Teachers are excellent and motivated, students are engaged and happy, parents are informed and involved. The community aspect is wholeheartedly embraced. Multi-culturalism and diversity are a great positive feature at this school. Education is the top focus and test scores are good. Small class-sizes with mixed grades and unique project-based learning encourage children to work at the level that is most challenging for them. There is a great (recently 'greened') play-yard with new play structure, garden, library, excellent (free) after-school program, and much more. The school is in one of the oldest school buildings in San Francisco. It has beautiful light, airy classrooms and hallways, with high ceilings and large windows. All-in-all it is an 'only in San-Francisco' kind of place.
Our son just started Kindergarden at SFCS and so far everything has been an excellent experience. We love his teacher, the community, the parent involvement and the small and very organized environment. He loves PE, the new play structure and his new class mates. He is excited to go to school every day and we are amazed how much he is learning already.
