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.

The teachers at Cotter High School are each caring individuals. They take the time to help each student and make sure no one is left behind. Every day they have lesson plans that are informative and provide knowledge that the students need. They clearly communicate information to the students in a way that is easy to understand.

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.
