Summary

McCoppin (Frank) Elementary is a K-5 school serving 258 students in the San Francisco Unified district, consistently earning a 4-star rating and currently performing above the state average.

The school has notable strengths, including a very low chronic absenteeism rate of 15%, which is significantly better than the district average and far better than nearby Cobb (William L.) Elementary. McCoppin also achieves solid academic results while spending less per student than many comparable schools, such as Peabody (George) Elementary.

While McCoppin is a strong school, its recent test scores have declined from a previous peak, and it ranks in the 75th percentile, which is below many high-performing neighbors like New Traditions Elementary and Yu (Alice Fong) Elementary. An area for attention is ensuring strong academic support for all student subgroups. Overall, McCoppin represents a reliable, efficiently-run school that successfully manages student attendance and has a strong track record with its diverse community.

My son has attended McCoppin for 5 years now (K-4) and I would recommend this school. The literacy program that was established 2 years ago has helped my son become an active reader and writer. The teachers embrace technology and encourage the students to use math and reading software. Yes, the computer equipment is outdated, but it works. As for the principal not being visible, that is far from the truth, I don't know if the parent made a review in Feb 2015 realized that the principal broke his leg and was at home on the mend for most of the school year. Unfortunately, the district assigned several principals to fill in and yes, they were not visible. The regular principal can been seen most mornings directing traffic both at the curb or in the yard. He responds to emails within hours. The school district has finally decided to upgrade this aging facility and will be complete in 2017. So there will be a proper cafeteria so the kids don't have to eat outside. The teachers are great and dedicated, The PTO is revived and is committed. As with any school, the experience is a partnership between a competent and innovative administration, dedicated and caring teachers, and supportive and engaged parents, all of which McCoppin has.

I definitely do not recommend McCoppin Elementary School. Very high teacher turnover even though this is a small school 2 veteran teachers left just a few months into the new school year. There is a lot of turmoil at this school and very poor leadership. The principal is not a visible presence and is absent a lot. No special events for parents and students. No student performances or school assemblies because the cafeteria/general purpose room can't be used. Instead a preschool occupies just a small section of this large room. Close Quote

McCoppin Elementary is a mess beacause of poor leadership. The prinicipal has been here too long and has done nothing to make the school special because he just doesn't care. He is absent a lot and has a regular substitute teacehr to cover for him. A former 2nd grade teacher at McCoppin taught there for 3 years without ever earning a teaching credential. No technology in classrooms and the computer lab was shut down for years. The cafeteria is strangely used as a preschool classroom so students have to eat lunch outside in the yard. Close Quote
