Stockbridge Middle School

10 plus. Or the highest rate allowed

I have a 10-year-old child who attends Cotton Indian, and he is autistic and has ADHD. Trust me when I say he can be a handful. He used to need constant redirection because of behavior challenges, but the teachers and staff at this school have worked so diligently with him. They took the time to understand his needs, support him, and help him feel settled and more confident. Most days, he comes home excited about what he’s learning, and that alone speaks volumes. He used to struggle with expressing his feelings, but now he feels safe enough to speak his mind. In my experience, the teachers here are respectful, patient, and incredibly supportive, especially Ms. S. Nelms and Mrs. Scott. They consistently motivate their students to learn and grow.I also have a 6-year-old who came to live with me, and this past February was his first time ever attending school. His teacher, Ms. Fleetwood, and her paraprofessional worked with him closely, and within just three months he was making A’s on his spelling tests. Both of my boys are thriving at this school, and I couldn’t be more grateful.Cotton Indian also does a wonderful job supporting students’ mental health and emotional well-being. As a parent, that means everything. I am truly grateful for the dedication and care the staff has shown my children. This school has made a huge, positive difference in their lives.

Small classes, caring teachers, and a community atmosphere.
