Argonne Elementary

Tucked into the outer Richmond district, Argonne Elementary sits in one of San Francisco's most livable, fog-kissed neighborhoods — close to Golden Gate Park, beloved dim sum spots on Clement Street, and a real sense of community that's sometimes hard to find in a big city. The school punches well above average across English, math, and science, making it a strong choice for families who want solid academics without the pressure-cooker intensity of some other SF schools. It tends to attract families who are rooted in the neighborhood and value a grounded, community-feel school experience alongside the undeniable perks of city living.
