Cottonwood Elementary School

This is by far, one of the best schools in the area. Everyone is friendly, and the staff really seem to care. There is a great small town feel and tightly knit community vibe at this school. The principal is caring and effective in his leadership roll.

The principal should not be principal there and the first grade teacher should not be teaching the first grade teacher bullied my daughter and then because I went to go talk to her about it claimed I put my hands on her but the camera show differently because I never did the principal still chose to back up a lying teacher . We are now in the mitts of going to court because you should not be a principal or a teacher if you’re going to be a nasty person or a bully you need to be there for the children

As in life you really do get out of it what you put in. Cottonwood School is fantastic because the teachers, admin and parents all work together to help the children succeed. You can not just drop off your children and expect the school to handle every thing. Our kids have had the opportunity for a great education because of the kind and caring attention they have received from Cottonwood staff. That said, you as a parent must commit to help with homework, extra curricula activities and volunteering when you can. This team pack is what makes Cottonwood and the students successful. There are ups and downs, but kids with smiling faces and great attitudes exit the school every day when the bell rings. I am glad we have our children at this school.

I rate Cottonwood Elementary the best school my children and/or grandchildren have ever attended. Our grandson's life has been permanently changed in a positive way. Since we enrolled him, he has learned to read so well that his scores went up 1 and 1/2 years in one semester. That is fantastic. His teachers and principal are positive and encouraging. He looks forward to school and is doing well socially. The homework is reasonable so he does not feel overwhelmed. The homework scenes in our house used to include a lot of stress; now he works independently and is motivated to finish.The teachers pay attention to his individual needs and have helped him succeed academically where he was weak. Thank you Cottonwood Elementary!!!

This is truly a Great School! I have two children at Cottonwood and am thrilled with how well they are doing and how comfortable they feel. This is due to the excellent teachers and a strong Principal who is both supportive and enthusiastic. My children are succeeding both academically and socially. There is a lot of parental support, avid volunteers and a wonderful PTO. No wonder they have a National Blue Ribbon Award and Distinguished School status.
