School Overview

S.F. County Opportunity, often referred to as the Hilltop School, is a specialized alternative education program within the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD). Located in the Mission District, the school is designed to provide a supportive, structured environment for students who may struggle in traditional comprehensive high school settings. The program focuses on credit recovery, academic intervention, and personalized instruction, aiming to re-engage students who have fallen behind in their coursework or require a smaller, more intimate learning community to succeed.

Beyond academics, Hilltop is noted for its focus on social-emotional support and student advocacy. By maintaining a lower student-to-teacher ratio than typical district schools, the staff works closely with students to address barriers to learning and to develop individualized paths toward high school graduation. The school serves as a vital resource within the SFUSD portfolio, providing an essential pathway for students to earn their diplomas and prepare for post-secondary opportunities despite previous academic or personal challenges.

It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
