I am thoroughly impressed with how clean this school is and how disciplined the students are! The teachers seem more than qualified and the security of the school is the best that I've seen so far!

Cottonwood Elementary is a wonderful school! Their academics and quality of teachers are exceptional! I can not speak highly enough of the unique family like enviornment Cottonwood provided for my children. Cottonwood has helped my children strive to reach for their full potential and have held them to high standards of academic excellence while keeping them motivated towards obtaining outstanding goals.. I give this school an A+!

This school has AMAZING teachers that are truly dedicated and passionate about their students. They pride themselves on high curriculum standards and encourage all students in positive ways to strive to be the BEST COUGAR possible. We've had 2 boys attend Cottonwood and deep down, they will ALWAYS be a COUGAR. We couldn't be happier and you won't be disappointed if Cottonwood is your choice. The 3rd- 5th graders will be learning with IPADS this coming Fall so Cottonwood is now known as an ACTION school.

Our daughter started out with reading difficultys when we moved here from Oregon. This last ending of the school year she was awarded the AR reader of the year. They really embraced her and that she had difficultys and worked with her to where now she does unbelievable.
