Muir (John) Elementary

Tucked into the western edge of the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, John Muir Elementary draws families who love the eclectic, community-driven spirit that makes this corner of San Francisco so distinct. The school's math scores stand out noticeably above its peers, making it a solid choice for families who prioritize quantitative reasoning even within a diverse, mixed-results academic picture. With Buena Vista Park practically in the backyard and the bohemian energy of the Haight just down the street, this is a school that feels very much like a reflection of the neighborhood it serves — creative, unpredictable, and full of character.
