"Overall great school!! We've lived in the area for about 2 years and both of my children have had great teachers and stay away from the bad apple kids. My favorite teacher so far is Mrs. Fernandez in 1st grade, she's always on schedule with her teaching plans, lets parents know about events ahead of time and always welcome parents to help in class. Sure she can be a little strict at times but only when a child or the whole class starts to get out of hand. The 2 negatives I see at this school is the office staff, they are SO snobby most of the time and make you feel like you are an inconvenience (except for MONICA, she is nice). And some of the teachers aids, they can be very mean to kids at times instead of compassionate and patient. The only reason I know is because I volunteer at the school and notice EVERYTHING. Let's see what the new year brings......."

"4th year at this school. front office staff is rude & makes you feel that you're inconveniencing them. principal cares about test scores & outside perception of the school.there are som truly amazing teachers & a few you question why they're working with kids.the principal will defend his teachers even when they're clearly wrong...again, it's all about appearances! a few of the aides also don't seem to like kids??? he doesn't return phone calls. the only way to get anything resolved is to contact the district, which he wants to avoid at all cost!"

"Disappointed....This school has a few outstanding teachers and aids that are absolutely wonderful however the support from the principal is not there! The principal is very good about promising and figuring out ways to help situations EXCEPT he never commits. There are excuses or I have been told flat out lies. The staff is scared to tell the parents what is going on with the students and the principal wants to hush hush situations from the district. Thats where the promises that are never fulfilled come in. Please just keep in mind if you have a student that attends this school to make sure you truly know what's going on not what you are being told. Huge difference and scary once I found out from other parents and started paying closer attention is when I pulled my children out. Looking at the school from the outside it looks great and thats the principals goal."

"I have three children; first, second and third grade. We just moved to this school at the beginning of the school year. My children and I are very pleases and absolutely love it here. My oldest son, since he was in preschool always had problems in school and was always getting in trouble and getting suspended. I never knew there were aby problems till after the fact. Here at Cottonwood the teachers and principal are very involved with the children and the parents. Of there is anything going on with my kids, good or bad, I usally find out before they even get out of school. They communicate very well with me in all areas of their schooling. The school is constantly doing thing for the kids and the school. From family movie nights, family bingo, cold stone ice cream sales every week, harvest carnivals and many other things to get the families involved. Also the principal is right there in every little thing the kids do. Encouraging them and making everything fun and exciting. You will hardly ever see him in his office, but rather out on the play ground or in the classrooms with the kids. This school has been the best experiences my kids and I have ever had. We all love Cottonwood."

"The staff of this school are incredibly snotty and rude. Don't expect any positive interactions with the office staff. Many of the teachers and aides don't seem to like children. We went to the halloween carnival and one of the workers at the fish bowl booth were so rude to my daughter that she cried. Another time one of the rude individuals helping in the book fair upset my son as well. Common courtesy and respect for you and your children will not be found at this school!"
