Reputation
Galileo previously had a bad reputation for low test scores and criminal events occurring in school, but in more recent years it has become one of the most improved schools in San Francisco (see Academic Performance Index below). Since the installation of surveillance cameras in 2005, criminal acts at Galileo have declined as a serious issue. Math scores remain one of Galileo's best academic strengths.
Galileo is now known for its strong career academy programs, high volume of AP and Honors courses, warm community, and excellent academics. It is one of the only fully wireless schools in the district. Students go to Galileo from all over the city, and most incoming 9th graders chose it as their first choice school.

“For all that I have done at my own charge?
The daily spite of this unmannerly town,
Where who has served the most is most defamed,
The reputation of his lifetime lost
Between the night and morning....””
