Is this actually the case in SF though?

Yes, I've heard of days getting cut - and many extra-circular programs too. Even in extreme-affluent parts of Silicon Valley.

Often due to the ubiquity of private schools, property taxes aren't funneled effectively to public schools. So funding can be very patchy.

Moving specifically back to SF, the system is also a lottery[1].
