Jefferson High

Jefferson High sits in Daly City, a densely packed city just south of San Francisco that's known for its tight-knit Filipino-American community and working-class roots — a place where fog rolls in off the Pacific and neighbors actually know each other's names. The school serves a diverse student body and lands in the mid-range academically, making it a realistic fit for families who value a multicultural environment and want a public school with a genuine sense of community over cutthroat competition. For families putting down roots in the Excelsior-adjacent neighborhoods along the SF-Daly City border, Jefferson offers a neighborhood school feel with easy access to everything the Bay Area has to offer.
