Lee (Edwin and Anita) Newcomer: The state doesn't publish enough data to score this school fairly.

Lee (Edwin and Anita) Newcomer is an elementary school in San Francisco. The state doesn't publish enough data to score it fairly — so we won't. Here's what we can show.

No Scope Score available

California doesn't publicly report per-grade test results when fewer than 11 students are tested in a grade — a privacy protection for small schools. With 23 students total, this school likely falls below that threshold in most tested grades. We can't compute a Scope Score without that data.

Slipped from the 17th to the 1st percentile since 2019.

Worth a school visit

With little published data, a visit does the heavy lifting: ask about class sizes, teacher tenure, and where last year's students went next.

  • Ask about typical class sizes and the student-teacher ratio.
  • Ask how long teachers have stayed at the school.
  • Ask where recent graduates or transfers went next.
  • Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom, and watch how a lesson actually runs.
