| Summary: | The Mission Economic Development Agency (MEDA), the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD), and the John W. Gardner Center for Youth and Their Communities at Stanford University (Gardner Center) are collaborating to understand residence and school enrollment patterns of students and families in the Mission Promise Neighborhood (MPN) service population. MPN was established to ensure that children, youth, and their families in San Francisco's Mission District achieve both academic success and economic security. The initiative defines its service population as families living within the established MPN boundaries or SFUSD students who live elsewhere in the city but are enrolled in one of the four MPN focus schools. This brief explores a question that is central to MPN's efforts: Who are the children and youth involved with MPN? Using SFUSD student records from the 2011-12 school year, the authors first look at the four MPN focus schools: Bryant Elementary (K-5), Cesar Chavez Elementary (PreK-5), Everett Middle School (6-8), and John O'Connell High School (9-12), and investigate where in San Francisco students enrolled in these schools live. They then examine school enrollment of students living outside MPN, paying particular attention to the students who enroll in MPN focus schools, and explore demographic differences between students enrolled in focus schools and those who enroll in other schools in SFUSD. The authors conclude by highlighting potential implications of these findings for MPN. Notably, this analysis includes families with school-age children and not those whose children have yet to begin school. Nevertheless, families with younger children are also in the MPN service population and will be considered in future reports that draw on data from other service providers. The following tables are appended: (1) Social and school demographics of MPN focus schools and non-focus schools, 2011-12; and (2) Percent of students enrolled in MPN focus schools and other schools, by residence and age group, 2011-12. |
