At Thurgood Marshall Academic High School, students gain the skills they need to go on to lead healthy, productive, and choice-filled lives and graduate with a plan for how they will achieve their goals.
TMAHS' Vision
Thurgood Marshall Academic High School is a multiculturally and multilingually diverse community of scholars that focuses primarily on ensuring our students graduate with the skills necessary to identify and define their goals, plan for post-secondary success, and achieve in college and career.
At TMAHS, students and staff hold themselves and each other to high expectations. We utilize project-based learning to explore and create relevant, real-world experiences that challenge our students to think creatively and critically.

TMAHS is a community school that authentically partners with students, families, and the larger San Francisco community. Our students are empowered to learn and grow through meaningful field trips, work-based learning, wrap around services, and out-of-school-time programming.

School Data

School Accountability Report Card (SARC)
School Accountability Report Cards (SARCs) are required by state law and are intended to provide families with important information.
School Accountability Highlights
Published annually by SFUSD to provide access to key data points and three-year trends related to student achievement and school culture-climate. The highlights are available in English, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, Filipino, and Vietnamese.
Social-Emotional and Culture Climate Report
SFUSD annually surveys families and school staff on a range of school climate indicators that have been found to predict positive student academic achievement. The social-emotional learning of students in grades 4-12 is also assessed.
School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA)
School communities gather twice a year to review data and previous actions in order to intentionally plan for the coming months. The School Plan for Student Achievement is the template on which this review and stakeholder engagement process is codified.
