Welcome! Our school is a nurturing environment that inspires each student to thrive academically, emotionally, socially, intellectually, and creatively so all students can be empowered to achieve their highest potential.

As a small school in the Lower Pacific Heights neighborhood in San Francisco serving students from preschool through grade 5, we benefit from small classes, a dedicated staff, and a strong multigenerational community.

Our community welcomes all new families enrolling at our school. We look forward to getting to know you, and are especially excited to have a new group of pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students joining us this year! I am extremely honored to be your principal at Dr. William L. Cobb Elementary, a school for equity in this ever-changing world.
