Neighborhood

Located in San Francisco's southwestern corner, the Outer Sunset neighborhood reflects the city's ethnic diversity and seaside charm. Bordered by Lincoln Way to the north, Sunset Boulevard to the east, Sloat Boulevard to the south and Ocean Beach to the west, the Outer Sunset proves to be the foggiest section in San Francisco because of its close proximity to the water.

This primarily residential area provides peace and quiet with stunning views. The Outer Sunset's green landscape and sandy shores serve as a serene environment in contrast to the hustle and bustle of life in the downtown area. Open your windows on a cool night and enjoy the calming sound of the ocean.

The Outer Sunset's main attractions include the San Francisco Zoo, Ocean Beach and Lake Merced. Museums include Fine Arts Museum-Research Library, de Young Museum and the California Academy of Sciences. The art scene shines at the Honey Hive Gallery and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
