2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy child has attended Cotopaxi Elementary and Junior High for 6 years now. I have been amazed at the quality of teachers encounted grade after grade. For the first four years I was able to volunteer each week in the classroom with the kids. I saw hands-on the level of education that was provided. My child does volleyball in the first semester, no sport in the second, and track in the third. So I have experience with both sides of the sports / P.E. offerings and I see nothing wrong with the program. The small school atmosphere, I myself love. I know most of the kids and a lot of the parents which is very nice when any sort of conflict does arise between kids at the school. A quick call or email to either the parent or the principal and the situation is usually resolved quite painlessly and the kids can get back to learning.Parent Review12y ago
