Research Cottonwood High School public Schools in Dothan, Alabama

“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!”

“I am a parent of two children that attend Cottonwood. In my opinion of this school, its not how well your child performs, either academically or in extra curricular activities, your child is judged by who their parents are. If a particular teacher doesnt like the parent, the child is judged based on that. Not their performance. The community is awful! The people in this town are judgemental and do not accept people that were not raised in it. If you are thinking of enrolling your child at CHS, think hard before sujecting your child to this judgemental environment.”

“I am a teacher as well as a parent of a child who attends CHS. As I have grown to know the community I am convinced that there is not another school in the country with as loving and caring a community as we have here. Cottonwood is not just academics - but we care about our students success in life - today and tomorrow. That is why we made US News & World Report for best high schools in the country. It is our faculty and students who through sweat, tears, many laughs, and hard work that made this happen. Watch out America because here we come!!!”

“My child attends CHS and for the most part, is very happy. However, there are teachers who show favortism and even though she is young, she still notices this. We pay our school fees just like everyone else. I keep telling myself it will get better.”

“i think cottonwood school is the best the teachers are great to the students and they try there best to get the students a good grade!!!”

“I am very happy with the school and the faculty that is there teaching our children. I am very proud to say that my children attend school at CHS.”

“I grew up at CHS and when I look back on it now I realize that it played a huge role in sync with my home learning in establishing not only my wisdom and knowledge but also my moral outlook on life and the decisions that I make in my everyday dealings. Thank you Mr. Tew and Mrs. Fowler;Thank you Linda Ann Wells for all of your teaching, guidance, love, and support. I will make you proud with the success I achieve. Couldn't have done it without you all. I will succeed!”

“I attend CWood and I love it. It might be small but I like it that way. You never have to worry about getting lost at CWood (lol). The teachers are really helpful and most of them will listen and help anyway they can. I have two more years at Cwood, and I think I'm really going to miss it when I graduate.”

“I went to school at chs, and it was a wonderful learning and caring environment. My child attends chs now and it was a very good decesion because he has learned how to be goal oriented, and respectful to others. Chs is a caring and very dedicated school, and believes in teaching its students to take pride in their work, and in their self. Chs staff is wonderful, and are willing to talk about concerns they may have regarding your child, and the problems your child may be having. Again, chs is wonderful. I have a child in 4th grade this year, and his sister will start in another year. Chs is definitely my choice for her also. We are one big family!!!”

“I graduated from Cottonwood and I now teach high school. I graduated from the University of Alabama and have my masters. No, Cottonwood does not have everything your typical 6A would have, but I look back and realize how much the teachers truly care about the students. Being in the schools now I realize what a good school Cottonwood was and if I had a child I would send them there.”

“I graduated from CHS and have nothing but disappointment in the quality of education found there. There is very little focus on challenging the students academically and honor students are actually discouraged. Now, having completed college, I can assure you that college bound students in Cottonwood are at an extreme disadvantage. This disadvantage can be overcome, but it is a very sad situation. If at all possible, I highly suggest sending brighter students to a private school in the area. The focus of the public schools is simply not conducive to academic success and achievement.”

“My daughter just started CHS - 3rd grade and so far she likes it much more than the Dothan City School she attended for 2 years. Everyone is very friendly and the teachers seem to be interested in the children's life - not just at school but home life as well.”

“I go to Cottonwood High School. It is a wonderful spirit filled environment. The teacher-student realtionships are like none other.”

“I go to CHS and am in the 10th grade,it is a wonderful place to learn at and I like it much better than my old schools.I enjoy all the fun things we do that are at the same time educational.”
