Combs Traditional Academy 37327 North Gantzel Road, San Tan Valley, AZ 85140

"Teachers are great! Everyone is kind and caring. Regular counseling, rigorous curriculum and weekly contact from teachers. Music, technology, PE, science - it's all there! If you have questions for teachers, they respond quickly. Everyone from the nurse to the bus driver cares about my child, and it really shows!! My daughter is excelling and is excited about school. Mr. Green, the principal, is active in the classrooms. Class sizes are very small. A hidden gem in San Tan Valley!"

"I attended this school for fifth and sixth grade, and I'm now a sophomore at Combs high. I had a wonderful experience and the school has been an A+ campus since. Professional learning environment, excellent teachers, and lots of learning practical life skills."

"This is the best school ever. The staff are very personal and friendly I couldn't feel more confident that my child is learning at her best ability. She is in a safe environment and she can learn and grow with values at school as we have her learn at home.. Amazing principle."

"The principal and a few of the teachers at this school need a lesson in cultural diversity. I do not recommend this school for people of color. My child's life has increased exponentially upon leaving this school. Hanging pictures of Martin Luther King Jr, Ghandi, and etc does not count as diversity. One day, I asked for a meeting, regarding my child's letter grade so that I could implement assistance in that particular area of study. Her explanation was, " The 'B' that he got is expected for children like him." I asked her what that meant and she made sure to explain why (culture/color). He was bullied by another child and took the blame out of fear. The principal is rude and ignorant when it comes to students, and defends his colleagues. The "fairness" in this school is non-existent. STAY AWAY if you are a family of color."

"My kids have gone here for 3 years. I have always been pleased with this school. I have never experienced the staff being rude especially Dr. Berkshire. He knew my sons name by the 2nd day of school. They also work hard to challenge your child by moving them into different classrooms based on aptitude by subject. I would definitely recommend this school."
