A Message From Our Superintendent

Greetings J.O. Combs Families,

The Arizona Department of Education released school performance labels. I am proud to share that the Combs Unified School District received an overall district letter grade of “B.” We are proud of the efforts of our teachers and staff as they have been working diligently to meet the individual needs of students.

One of our published district priorities is listed as “Outstanding Student Achievement,” and the Combs District employees are prepared to continue to work hard to achieve this goal. We will continue to review school and student achievement data in order to develop and implement action plans directed at increased student achievement. We are confident that we have the right combination of qualified staff, supportive parents, and motivated students!
 
For a complete listing of school labels, please visit the Arizona Department of Education website. 

Sincerely,

Gayle A. Blanchard
