Everything about The San Francisco Unified School District totally explainedThe San Francisco Unified School District is a public school district in San Francisco, California. It is managed by the San Francisco Board of Education.
The district was California's first public school district when it was established in 1851. (External Link )(External Link) It currently serves over 56,000 students in more than 160 institutions. (External Link) It is the only public school district within the City and County of San Francisco.
The San Francisco Unified School District utilizes an intra-district school choice system and requires students and parents to submit a selection application. Calfee School Guide was the first curricula-based non-profit program in the country to work with public middle school students to help them select and apply to public, magnet and public-charter high schools.
For six consecutive years, SFUSD has outperformed the seven largest California school districts on the California Standards Tests (CST). Newsweek Magazine’s national ranking of “America’s Best High Schools” (2007) named seven SFUSD High Schools among the top 5% in the country. In 2005, two SFUSD schools were recognized by the federal government as No Child Left Behind Blue-Ribbon Schools. (External Link)
