Cottonwood is an incredible school. I loved going there and I still love supporting their sports teams. I hope more people will give this school a chance, it is incredible. It just gets a bad wrap because nearby Olympus steals our participative kids.

Cottonwood High School is rapidly going downhill. The special education department is awful. They have no idea what they are doing, they do not work with the children that need special attention, they ignore IEP's and try to get by with spending as little time and money as possible. Absolutely horrendous. We have changed schools and I wouldn't send a child there nor recommend it to anyone.
