San Francisco schools continue to see enrollment decline 

The SF parents are going Private schools now! The public school teachers are substandard and are teaching woke ideology, not reading, writing and arithmetic!😮

Don’t feel to bad for them. The teachers unions fought hard to keep schools shut during covid. And in 2022 the department of education received 200 billion dollars in funding, and yet public schools have only gotten worse since then. Parents are looking for an alternative. And there is nothing the unions can do to stop them.

There's no mention of real estate properties being gobbled up by private equity firms or rich people and having those properties turned into rental properties with ridiculous sky high rental rates that no one but with high 6-7 figure salaries can afford. There's also no mention the type of education and performance that public schools are giving compared to private schools and how enrollment of private schools is being affected in the San Francisco. I swear SF leadership has their heads up their you know what. Just a few years ago, they took the merit based application down for Lowell High School and called it discriminatory because it wasn't enrolling enough black and Latinos in and had a disproportionate amount of Asian and white enrollment. They spent more time during Covid trying to change the names of some schools based political virtue signaling rather than getting students back into the classroom. On top of everything, you also have a system pushing BS teachings like common core math which is the one of the worst ways to sabotage a kid's education on math. I do not understand how you can teach this absurd way of doing regular math and expect them to have the fundamentals to build upon them to do higher level math in their college years like calculus which would give them the opportunities to be an engineer, or someone in the sciences.

If I ever live in SF. I would put my kids into a private school. I don't trust SF public school teachers.

The report failed to mention the growth in private schools. Parents that are concerned about the agenda message public schools give are finding options. There are no changes on the way... Public education is getting worse. The change that needs to happen is with in the course offerings. Schools operate on a 1950's model.

Its almost like its not a good city to raise a family, its almost like it so expensive here a lot of people dont/wont have kids. Almost like right?

I own and operate a driving school in SF, and have noticed many student drivers are from private schools in the area. Sad to see such a decline, I went to SFUSD schools K-12 !!

People that love their children are fleeing San Francisco

This is what happens when you vote blue !!!

London Breed kicked out the good teachers

This feels like 40% of a news story. Is it more families choosing private school? Is it a nationwide decrease in the population of children? Is it that Bay Area families have left in large numbers? Why not provide any basic explanation? Can’t leave it to the comments, far too many citizens have a very closed mind towards the nuances of demographic shifts.

I can confirm. I live in Elk Grove and it is jam packed here for schools. A lot of Bay Area residents reside in the 916.

They played the covid lock down way too long

The lockdowns were a knockout punch for public schools. A lot of kids didn’t participate in the zoom classes and many dropped out - never returned. I don’t know that it has “flattened out” after COVID - the graph seems to show a continued downward trend, especially in Napa, Santa Clara, San Mateo, and Sonoma counties.

Less kids in significant areas of SF. The more the school; the longer the wait-list. We are like the Manhamptons now.🏦💰

London Breed is doing a great job apparently. Vote this fall for your city.

SF public schools have been miserable for a long time. Tons of money, yet can't grant safety and a decent education.

families are leaving as the SB doesnt prioritize kids needs. remember their priority was to change names.

These schools aren’t safe at all. I’m glad my lil bro graduated 2 years ago. They need more security aka cops on the campus

Holy crap; there are still people sending their little kids to government schools in San Francisco?

Private schools are doing great. SF needs to do better

People are leaving 🤷🏿‍♂️ nothing here anymore

Let’s not forget these clowns wanted to stay closed for years and years because of…

close these government daycares already.

I have two children in private school. I’m insanely concerned about how political and motivated towards radical ideology that San Francisco schools have moved towards. They’re anti-family most of all but I like traditional values.

Good, home school your kids

I just looked and saw some elementary schools are 25-30+ students to 1 teacher. They want more students per teacher than this?

Who'd want to raise their child in a place like SF?? Not exactly "family friendly"..

nope this is happening in SF. ARizona schools are expanding, so are schools in SoCal like rancho Cucamonga, and many many more places

No context. Why are they leaving?

Good, home school, you wont have to walk your kids past junkies and human waste and they wont get propagandized.

crimes and criminals, families are moving due to fear of safety

The students are in danger and the learning criteria changed as well as inflation paying for school and your kids lunch they might be teaching there kids at home

Ironically, parents that vote woke, won't send their own kids to public school that teach woke ideology. 😂 How's those DEI new teacher hires coming along? 😂😂

Pay for your own security

Anybody who wants to learn can do so with the Internet. Rain tanks, solar/wind energy, water shed restoration etc these are the jobs and lessons we need to be teaching. This way we can have a collective purpose. Currently, it shows that there is zero collective purpose.. so then why be there anyway?
