Original Research by School Decision on Asdb - Elp Satellite 1 Preschool (jo Combs Preschool)
This school is closed. ASDB - ELP Satellite 1 Preschool (JO Combs Preschool) was a special education preschool program operating under the Arizona State Schools for the Deaf and the Blind, but it is no longer active, and no academic, enrollment, or demographic data is available to describe its operations while it was open.
Because the school served only pre-kindergarten students in a special education setting, it did not participate in the state testing program that applies to grade-level public schools, and no test results were ever generated for it. There is no graduation rate to report, as the school did not serve high school grades. The absence of this data is a direct result of the school’s grade band and mission, not an indicator of performance.
The school was located in San Tan Valley, a largely residential community of planned neighborhoods such as Pecan Creek South, San Tan Heights, Archer Meadows, and Johnson Ranch. Originally an unincorporated area, San Tan Valley voted to incorporate as a town in 2025. It has no traditional downtown; its civic and school facilities are spread across its planned developments. San Tan Mountains Regional Park borders the community to the west. Most residents commute to work elsewhere in the Phoenix metro area, and the housing stock in the zip code around the school’s address has a home value near the state average, with rents slightly above that benchmark. The area has seen substantial population growth over the past two decades, and development continues as planned communities expand.
The parent organization, the Arizona State Schools for the Deaf and the Blind, is a statewide special-purpose district that operates programs across Arizona for students who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind, visually impaired, or deafblind. This particular satellite preschool site was one of its outreach locations, designed to serve young children with those sensory disabilities in the San Tan Valley area.
For a parent or resident today, the essential fact is that this school is closed and no longer enrolls students. Families seeking early childhood special education services in the San Tan Valley area for children who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind, or visually impaired would need to contact the Arizona State Schools for the Deaf and the Blind directly to learn about currently operating programs, evaluation services, and placement options.
