Grattan Elementary

Grattan Elementary serves 384 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in San Francisco. It earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — powered by a growth score of 9.5 that ranks among the strongest in the state. That combination places Grattan eighth out of 119 public schools in San Francisco and 135th among 9,533 California public schools, putting it in a tier that very few elementary schools reach regardless of location.

Academic performance scores an 8.7, reflecting consistent, strong outcomes across grade levels. At 384 students and a 20.2-to-1 student-teacher ratio, the school operates at a size where individual students get regular attention. San Francisco's public elementary field is intensely competitive, and Grattan still ranks 113th among 5,817 California elementary schools statewide — a position only the top 2% of the state's elementary schools hold.

For families comparing options across the district, the headline is direct: Grattan outperforms 99% of public schools in California. It is a regular public school with standard attendance-based enrollment, which makes that performance level especially meaningful for families in the zone.

The student-teacher ratio at Grattan Elementary is 20.2:1, which is higher than the national average. This may mean larger class sizes, so parents should ask about classroom support, teaching assistants, and how the school differentiates instruction for students who need extra help.
