Fellow student here and let me tell you the TRUTH about this “perfect school” the teachers DONT CARE, they treat you like slaves not students, but complain about the amount of work they have to grade and blame students, counselors are not even counselors lollll... they are like nurses who give you an ice pack for a bullet wound. Yeah no this school is so OVERRATED, does not deserve even the 3.7 stars it has.. please do better for your kids.. allow them to be at a school who doesn’t push them to be slaves, instead be creative and have creative freedom. This school is just another wanna be Bartlett or collierville high ... don’t waste your time.

This is my second year in this school and I think it's one of the best Shelby County schools I can't say how good this school is.Always there's a new thing to do to learn to make you happy.They have one of the best ESL teachers you going to see.Learning there is so fun

We have attended Cordova Elementary for a few years. We have seen different administrators come and go. The new principal really affects the Cordova experience from top to bottom. It is a family involved school and you can feel when the administrator wants family involved or not. Another problem is due to changing administration what seems every year, we have noticed the retention of some of the best teachers be a problem. After 1 to 2 years these teachers either transfer schools or no longer work for the system. Thankfully, the teachers we have experienced were devoted and great. If you have a Kindergarten student request MS. Binkley. The BEST Kindergarten teacher! When it comes to learning, I felt the school could have tried different and exciting techniques to help kids that normally have problems with concentration and absorbing large amounts of information all at once. If your child can independently do work and figure things out of his/her own, you would fare well here. I also felt there should have been more special programs for regular kids not just those in CLUE or Optional programming. Lastly, I hate to admit, bullying was a problem that I feel if you are not an involved parent that pushes the addressing of the problem, it would continue unchecked. Sometimes, you were made to feel your child is the problem or should handle it on his/her own to the detriment of his/her overall wellbeing. Instead of being proactive the school is reactive. It is too long of a process to address issues. Your best allies will be the Guidance counselor and the school security cameras. Lastly, this school is a good school, but if you are not an involved present parent, your child may not have a great experience. A lot of the teachers genuinely care about the success of your child. I have not experienced a teacher yet that I felt otherwise. Be Present, Vigilant, and Active.
