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.

I go to a really good school. Most of the classes are fairly challenging, and I feel like a learn a lot. Since it is so small, there are also a lot of chances to participate in extracurricular activities. There are a few things that I don't like about it though. There are a few teachers that I dislike, and there are no advanced placement classes.

There is not very many extracurricular activities at Cotton Center. You have your choices from FFA , Basketball, track, football, band, and one act play. Although there is not very many choices to choose from there all very welcoming and willing to work with anyone.

We have had no threats in our school. The administration keeps thier eyes wide open for these possibilties though. They prepare their students very well with drills that show us what to do if ever under those curcumstances.
