C.A.R.E. Middle School
What is C.A.R.E.?
There are three Centers for Academic Re-entry and Empowerment (CARE) programs in different parts of San Francisco. These programs are a partnership between the San Francisco County Office of Education (part of SFUSD) and the Y of San Francisco. The Buchanan YMCA has one small high school. There is another high school and middle school campus in the Bayview Hunters Point YMCA. The CARE programs serve students who have missed significant amounts of school or who have dropped out entirely.

We, the Lawton community, encourage academic excellence, critical thinking, tolerance and strength of character. Through scholarship, creativity, exploration and service, we grow individually and as a community. We are committed to educating the whole child with respect, responsibility, and compassion.
