Welcome | Bienvenidos


James Lick Middle School is nestled in the heart of Noe Valley, a beautiful neighborhood in San Francisco. We are a mid-sized school, serving over 600 students and families. One of our biggest assets is our diverse student population, including about 65% Latino, 15% African-American, and 12% White. Over the past five years, we have made great gains in terms of student achievement which include about a 130 point gain in state-wide test scores. We attribute these gains largely to the involvement of families and the highly collaborative work of a very dedicated staff.

  • 2nd UPDATE Potential changes to your child’s schedule depending on their program~  *3 long-term English Language learner classrooms will be collapsed due to many students being reclassified. *We are thrilled to introduce a new elective/enrichment course, which will be Intro/beginning Spanish as a World Language course. This course will be available as part of our rotating elective wheel. Our first group will be selected based on a lottery system and interest. We are trying to serve all grade levels, but potentially may have to limit the class to 6th and 7th grade only.
