"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."

"My Son has attended Cottonwood School since He was 5, in his first year he was diagnosed with ADHD, We have had many ups and downs, my son has come a long way, this year he is entering 9th grade at Hamilton High School, he has grown into one of the most amazeing young men I have ever known, I a credit this entirely to his time at Cottonwood School, the staff at Cottonwood were wonderful, makeing sure he had every advantage, my som is who he is now because of the love and compassion they all gave so freely tpo him, there are some who stood out, I would like to thank each of them, Mrs Sheryl Casilloas,without whom we could not have survived. Bonnie Peters, always there when we needed her, she never let me down. and Mrs Robin Hammond who spent many many hours working with him, these people will forever special to me, thank all oif you again, I love you all, Sincerly Becki Teague."

"Cottonwood isn't just a California Distinguished School but is one of 33 schools in the state that has been nominated for the National Blue Ribbon Award. This school is the cornerstone of the community with a very rural student body, but you'd never know they were country kids by how well they perform. Cottonwood isn't just a school, its got a family atmosphere, the one time a child of mine had a problem with teasing the principle got involved and had the entire grade level (one classroom, small school) talked to. One talk and my daughter was no longer singled out. The staff truly cares and wants to create the best environment for every student to thrive in. Cottonwood kids are amazing too, I now have 3 kids in attendance from 7th grade to preschool, at every grade level they are fully involved in the activities and I don't hear a single complaint. Having only moved to the area 2 years ago from the city, I'm in a good position to compare Cottonwood to alternative options in the region, this school is amazing. The sports program is great too, in middle school its a class, everyone can participate if they want to play sports regardless of prior ability, and they do well!"
