Our Focus
All students in the South San Francisco Unified School District (SSFUSD) deserve the best possible education. Public funding is not enough to provide the the education our students deserve. With educational underfunding and socioeconomic challenges worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic, the time to join forces to support our students and educators is now. When families, community groups, businesses and schools join forces to support learning, our students and entire community benefit.
41% of SSFUSD students received free or reduced meals in 2019-2020 before the pandemic
47% of all SSFUSD 3rd-11th graders met or exceeded Literacy Standards in 2021-2022
39% of all SSFUSD 3rd-11th graders met or exceeded Math Standards in 2021-2022
