TOWN SCHOOL FOR BOYS (boys), 2750 Jackson Street, first to 8th grade, considered the best school for boys and very tough to get into.

THE SAN FRANCISCO DAY SCHOOL (co ed), 350 Masonic Blvd. first grade to 8th grade, considered the best co ed private school.

THE URBAN SCHOOL OF SAN FRANCISCO (coed), 1563 Page Street, 9th to 12th grade, considered the best school for students who don't do well in structured environments.
