St. Brigid School

My oldest child went here for Kindergarten, but sadly he will not be able to attend first grade here because we are moving out of the district because my husband got a job in Fresno. The teachers here are lovely and great at their jobs. They are great with communication too.

Far too much focus on reading, writing and math and not enough on DEI struggle sessions and equity.

We were worried about the SF public school system when we moved here, but lucked out when we were placed in Spring Valley in the lottery. The teachers are all great, and the class sizes average 12 students to a teacher - that's hard to beat anywhere. Spring Valley seems to be overlooked despite being one of the oldest schools in the city, but my kids love it and look forward to going every day.

the community here is one of a kind. It’s a small school and everyone knows each other. The principal knows every student and is very involved.

school is outdated and is in need of major repairs

Two kids - one in elementary and one in high school. If you are looking for a school with excellent academics, focus on raising “the whole child” and on the cutting edge of education - this is it.

I am a parent of 2 current SVDP students. We are happy with the academics, extracurricular activities, parent community, value, teachers, and administration. The school both challenges and supports it’s students. The school did a fantastic job with in-person learning during COVID and has successfully navigated the 2021/2022 school year.
