Cottonwood Elementary School

Posted September 28, 2009

I've dealt with this school for the past 3 years and let me tell you i wouldn't recommend it to noone. Only a couple good teachers, and not challenging at all. Education doesn't seem to be a priority for this school. Most teachers are slackers in this school and staff are there to cover them up. Principal is a nice person but makes bad choices on who she has working under her. Parking is very dangerous and PTC leaders, simply don't care in even trying to seek options. Its definetly graded a 3. Very well deserved.

Both my children attended Cottonwood for three years (one still does). I was severely disappointed that sixth grade was discontinued the previous two years, forcing my child and many other 'Coyotes' to attend Cypress Academy (where they were placed in a class with a man who - quite frankly - should not be teaching). The icing on the cake is that Cottonwood will be re-establishing sixth grade next year. For parents like me who were dissatisfied with our kids' sixth grade experience at Cypress (trust me, I'm not the only one), this news was upsetting. Additionally, I agree with the parent who said that it was unfortunate that teachers don't attend the evening events. I understand they are not being paid during that time, but it discourages kids from wanting to attend a game night, etc. when they learn their teacher doesn't care enough to be there.

This is a terrible school! Parents are not notified of anything. Children are either disciplined in a very unreasonable manner, or not disciplined at all. The children are not challenged. My child's test scores and acamedic performance dropped significantly after attending this school. It's just terrible. Some things going on in the classroom have nothing to do with education, or meeting state standards.

My daughter is now in the 4th grade and has been struggling since she started kinder.Test scores have been low and she continues to struggle up to date, tutoring has been offered after school but due to no transportation it is not possible for her to attend.Her grades are very low and as a concerned single parent I asked why she wasn't being held back a grade since I've noticed it's getting more and more challenging for her. I was advised it would be in her best interest to keep her on track with her other classmated since she is so tall for her age.I'm even more concerned & have mixed emotions about this choice.I feel my daughter is not getting the attention she needs and her grades reflect it.Also I agree office staff(attendance)needs to learn to be more professional, but I can't deny my daughter is a proud Cayote.
