Combs Center for Success High School

Public Grades 9-12

Summary

Combs Center for Success High School is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in San Tan Valley, Arizona, with a student population of just 73 students. While part of the J.O. Combs Unified School District, which has a 2-star rating, the school faces significant challenges compared to nearby high schools.

Combs Center for Success High School has a more diverse student population than Combs High School, with higher percentages of Hispanic and Native American students. However, the school's academic performance is significantly lower than district and state averages, with only 8% of 11th-grade students proficient in Science and Mathematics, compared to 18% and 32% for the district, respectively. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 52.6% is also much lower than the nearby San Tan Foothills High School (88.7%) and Combs High School (89.6%).

Despite these challenges, Combs Center for Success High School performs relatively well for its Hispanic and low socioeconomic status student populations, ranking 23rd out of 379 Arizona high schools for its Hispanic students and 94th out of 347 for its low-income students. However, the school's significantly lower spending per student ($4,200) compared to nearby schools ($6,018 to $16,468) may be a contributing factor to its overall academic struggles. With the right interventions and support, the school has the potential to improve its educational outcomes for all students.
