Named for a beloved San Francisco educator, Dr. William L. Cobb School provides a strong academic program for its students. William Lennox Cobb was the first African-American principal in the San Francisco School District, and the school that he led continues to celebrate his accomplishments as a courageous educator. Students feel they belong at Dr. Cobb, and their intellectual, social and emotion
al development shows it. Children and their families are known well, and thus students can be nurtured to reach their full potential. There are many strong academic and social components in place to meet the needs of our diverse students. At Cobb you will find a staff dedicated to the needs of children, and a school culture that values learning. Math and science are areas of focus for our teachers. Cobb students in all grades participate in hands-on science and come together as a community of learners. Our teachers are also learners, participating in WISE and UCSF science programs. We welcome you to be a part of the long tradition of learning! Dr. Cobb Elementary has been serving the Western Addition and Pacific Heights community since the 1920s.
