GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

In a school where the principal lasts on average 2 years, having 3 principals in my time enrolled, with 3 supers and 2 high school counselors, things are always a mess. The school is overcrowded and this year they tore up the high school parking lot to expand the high school building.

Cotter high school is the best school there is. The staff is really caring and involved. The students are I voled in everything and include everyone. No one feels left out or alone. It is a warm place to be and everyone there is like a big family.

I like that Cotter High School is so small because it allows students to get a one-on-one education with the teachers.

Many of the teachers are good, caring, individuals, but the administration needs to be completely removed. They have turned a blind eye to parental complaints and are only concerned with themselves. Hopefully this will all change soon, but for the time being I wouldn't send any child here.
