Cottonwood Elementary School

I have been very pleased with the education my daughters (4th and 2nd grade) have received thus far (which means a lot considering we transferred from a high-performing district in Santa Clarita). This is their second year attending this school and they are thriving! Great teachers of note: Mrs. de Moor, Ms. Brooks, Ms. Buck, Mrs. Harmon (retired).

Overall I am very pleased with Cottonwood and love this school. We have been here for 3 years. My oldest is now in middle school but my youngest is still here, but they both excelled (my youngest still does) at this school where as, when we were in the LAUSD System previously (at 2 very different elementary schools) they struggled. Here they are more engaged, feel safe, and enjoy going to school. It isn't perfect but I wouldn't go any where else. I love that they appreciate me being a parent volunteer and I appreciate that they let me volunteer. I would recommend Cottonwood to anyone.

Amazing, I wish I moved here sooner. Don't let the current ratings discourage you from sending your kids here. Everyone is so involved and you can tell the teachers love what they do and are so supportive of their students.

This year, Cottonwood turned into the IDEA academy (STEAM) and a lottery school of choice. You can tell that the teachers and staff are excited about the change. My kindergartner loves going to school here and has great friends. I especially love the diversity. I look forward to next year, when the new building will open up -- with the office that will house the office and library. There will be a new playground and a garden for the teachers to share. I expect great things from this school as it grows.
