Comstock Elementary School is an elementary school in Miami, Florida, part of Miami-Dade County Public Schools. It is a "Controlled Choice School" with emphasis on Mathematics Through Technology (it became so with the Kelsey L. Pharr and Maya Angelou Elementary Schools to create racial balance in all three schools).
[edit] School 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.
At first, the school was for primary grades (Grades K-3), with enrollment of over 1,000 students. The school endured major renovations in the 1960s. In the late 1990s, overcrowding was a problem at the school. It was solved with the construction of two neighboring schools: Maya Angelou and Santa Clara. In 1995 a new Exceptional Student Education (ESE) Building was built.
The school has had administrators such as Nancy Mitchell, Merv Levine, Felicia Gil, Myra Silverstein, Brenda Edwards, and Alejandro Pérez.
