This is an absolutely terrible school. My daughter has anxiety purely because of the teachers here and how unnecessarily rudely they treat the children. Constantly berated her even though she was one of the quiet kids and never spoke. I dont know if its a race issue or the teachers just suck. Dont send you child here unless you want to pay for their therapy and anxiety medication

This is school is amazing! The teachers are excellent in their job and take care of my kids. Everything changed after the new principal arrived together with new teachers! They really love their job and love the students! They will do any sacrifice to protect and teach my kids!

I love this school. My daughter started attending Cottonwood Creek from 4th-6th grade & every teacher she had was amazing! I also enjoyed the PTA involvement & the openness of the staff & faculty.

My grandaughters go to this school for past 3 years and I go to all performances and I like what I see. I feel they are safe and staff is professional and responsible. I like they way they discipline and challenge the students. Now with The Heart Program available for after school challenges and creativity it a Win Win School!!

My son has been bullied here repeatedly. They refuse to help my eldest son. I've had to bring the state in multiple times in a year to get any assistance for my child and was blown off by both the old and new principals. I'm about to go flip burgers so my kids can go to a better school .

Cottonwood Creek Elementary School is my granddaughter's school. She loves the teachers and the school. I live in Texas, but she keeps me informed of all things that happens during the school year.
