Starr King Elementary School

Starr King Elementary School is a lively, student-centered and ethnically diverse community located atop Potrero Hill. We offer four programs to incoming families: Pre-Kindergarten, General Education, Mandarin Immersion and and a Moderate-Severe Autism-focused Special Day Class. Our student body of 340 students is supported by more than 50 staff members in 20 engaging classrooms, and a robust after school program. 

Our mission: Starr King School is dedicated to providing a supportive and equitable learning environment that empowers students to be life-long learners and community leaders. To this end, our faculty and staff are committed to fostering a safe, respectful and responsible learning environment where all students achieve both academic proficiency and social competency. We are assisted in this task by a strong parent volunteer program that provides classroom support as well as enrichment opportunities. 

We offer the lowest average class size in the district and strive to know each member of our community personally. This enables us to build deeper and more meaningful relationships with all of our students. Our joyful learners are happy, engaged, curious, eager, and confident enough to take risks.
