Excellent school! I consider all the staff part of my family. Very committed to our children in every way.
Having 3 children that went to various school in the district I wasn't completel satisified until my youngest started attending Norma Coombs. THe staff and teacher are so helpful and attentive to your needs and your child needs. WHen it was time to register my grandson for kindergarten Norma Coombs for the first choice for my daughter who did not atttend the school herself.
Passionate principal, teachers, and staff. One of the few schools here really doing great!
The passion for educating our kids seen from administration to staff to parents. Everyone is involved with heart!
NCAS is a great school, with wonderful teachers and a great principal.
Dedicated teachers, a visionary and hands-on principal, and parent involvement are what makes Norma Coombs a great place for students to learn.
The principal, Mrs. Watkins, is very welcoming and friendly. Its parents are very involved. The small campus size and location lends to a great community feeling and learning environment.
Academic excellence in a supportive community
Norma Coombs fills a great need in the community. Its faculty and staff care deeply about the students, as evidenced by the recent turnout when PUSD was considering closing / moving it altogether.
Diverse student body, great staff lead by a wonderful principal, high test scores and great group of parent volunteers is what makes this school the talk of the town. Dr. Watkins runs a tight ship and is the only principal I have known to be easily accessible.
