Cottonwood is an ok school... i feel it does not offer enough and teachers have favorites... some teacher i dont understand why they are even there... some are just plain mean (and not in the way that makes you try hareder, more like the way to make you drop out)... when i go to school everyday i want to go learn, not dread the thought of going,,, the sports are growing at least... go bear!!!

I am a student (junior) at CHS. Cottonwood is a very good school. I passed everyone of my graduation exams the 1st year i took them b/c my teachers prepared me for it. I love CHS. The teachers do care about you. The communtiy is not so great but the school is likes its own little communtiy. People come from all over to go to CHS. :) Go Bears!!!

I graduated from Cottonwood High School and went on to the UofA. I was in all the honor classes and graduated in the top 10. When I got to college and took on the work load it was difficult. Cottonwood did not prepare me in any way, shape or form for college. I have since moved away and would never allow my children to attend Cottonwood.

I agree with this statement...we are not only about academics....we CARE for our students! I have worked at CHS for only 2 years, and I am amazed and thrilled at how our staff has pulled together to help students/families in financial needs, medical needs, etc! We have a fantastic staff/parent/student relationship! I am proud to be a bear!!!

i had two sons graduate from Cottonwood High School and now have two step-sons going to Cottonwood.All four have or still enjoy the school.Don't understand how people can complain about a school and still allow their children to go there.If you are not happy there then leave.

I agree with the statement about if you weren't raised in Cottonwood you are treated differently. I had a child that was treated differently in this school, the best year ( senior) was her worst year because of they way she was treated by the the staff. Now I'm going to enroll a grandchild and I hope it is a much better experience for her!
