I feel, as many other parents out there do, that the school is lacking in discipline. My daughter tells me of fights on campus regularly and about unruly students in general. My interaction with administration concerning some issues has not been to my satisfaction. I have already enrolled my daughter

I like the school compared to the Public Schools in California which I would never put my kids in. What I don't like is the teachers will let kids slide through because they don't want the bother. No contact with the parents. Sad....

Okay. So I'm in the 8th grade. I recently moved here. and now my mother is going to drive me 30 min everyday just so I can go to a better school. DO NOT let your kids go here. It is a complete waist of time if you want an education.

The discipline policy at this school is useless. My daughter tells me that rotten kids hardly get into any real trouble at the school. Kids that want to be rowdy get away with it and referrals to the dean are harmless. One kid flipped off a teacher, it took almost a whole week before the kid was suspended
... Read more for only one day. When I was a kid, you could get tossed out of school for something like that! So, if your kid is prone to getting into trouble and you are the kind of parent that does nothing about your child's bad behavior but blame teachers and administrators, J.O. Combs is the right place for you. Parents with bright kids that will do what they are supposed to will be frustrated with classes that get interrupted by rotten kids who don't care and administrators that the kids don't fear.

I just moved to Arizona with my youngest daughter since my older kids are at college. My other kids attended a school that was featured in Time magazine. At Combs, most students seem to be rude, lazy, smart-asses with no respect for education or their own futures. I can only imagine the kind of depraved
... Read more adults that would raise a child who would contribute so little to society. The administration has done little to nothing to create a productive and effective learning environment for students who do care about not ending up serving french fries. If anything, the administration seems to hinder any effort on the teacher's part to assert the importance of learning. What is the point of taking time out class so a rotten monster can call home and brag about his antics? I would rather lose money on my house than ruin my child's future with this crappy Read less

I feel that the school is a safe environment with a quality educational system. The teachers there are excellent at providing sustained information towards the students. I believe that the curriculum is expanding and the control over the students is well-contained.
