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.

Welcome to Dr. William L. Cobb Elementary School, a school for equity in this ever-changing world. We are especially happy to welcome our new TK and kindergarten families! Families and students are invited to our new student orientation on Thursday, May 31 from 4 to 5pm.
