Yes, if you only have a instruction permit in San Francisco CA you are not allowed to drive by yourself so therefore you cannot drive yourself to school. You need to have a supervising motorist with you during your learner’s permit stage California has in place for beginning motorist.

According to the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), with a permit, a parent, guardian, adult 25 years of age or older or a spouse, who has a valid CA driver license, must be with you when you operate a vehicle. He or she must be in the front seat in order to take control of the car, if necessary. Again, it is illegal for you to drive by yourself at any time with only a CA instruction permit.

To get more information on your restrictions as a permit holder you may contact the CA DMV.
