History
Comstock Elementary was constructed in 1925 on land originally owned by a family who started their Exotic Garden Florist business on the property. Eventually, part of the property was donated for a school with the adjacent lots developed for a public park. Initially, the school was for primary grades, Grades K-3, with enrollment over 1,000 students. In the 60's there were major renovations. In the late 90's, overcrowding was alleviated by the construction of two neighboring schools, Maya Angelou and Santa Clara. In 1995 a new Exceptional Student Education (ESE) Building was built. Currently, the school holds Pre-K through fifth grades with approximately 750 students. It became a Controlled School of Choice paired with Kelsey Pharr and Maya Angelou to create racial balance in all three schools. Comstock’s strength is in math and technology. The history of the administrative staff includes: Nancy Mitchell, Merv Levine, Felicia Gil, Myra Silverstein, Brenda Edwards, Alejandro Pérez and the current Principal, Deborah Wilson.
