The IDEA Academy @ Cottonwood

So it is almost my last year at this school and from the 7 years I’ve been here I always felt as if the school was another home. I learned a lot and am going to middle school. It’s scary but they prepare us for the future to come. The have splendid teachers and amazing experiences that other schools don’t. They teach us that life isn’t going to be easy but if we try hard enough we can do it. Kinder garden is learning to read already and sixth grade is preparing to go to school for certain degrees to be what we want our career to be! I love this school because they have additional classes like music art and drama. They also have clubs like ballroom dancing where I learned how to do the mambo and the waltz. They also have mathletes where students are able to thrive. this school encourages the students to be their best and I will carry that positive impact they made in my life for the rest of my life.

Just moved to palmdale 2 years ago and so far I love the school

I stayed 7 years in that school and I want to go back.

This school is so awesome especially the principal Mr.Norris GO COUGARS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Truthfully, I don't know how this school became a school of choice. All three of my children attended this so called school. If your child has a learning delay/disability I would not recommend this school. My oldest daughter has developmental delay. I've asked the school for any information and help and have gotten no where. The school's only solution was to hold her back a year, which she did great because she was placed with a teacher, Mrs. Barkas, who truly cared about teaching. Prior to that and now, she has been placed with teachers who could careless about teaching. In my daughter's current class, she was placed once again with a teacher who is practically out of the door so my daughter is forced to just go with the flow of the class. Yes, I tried changing schools, but was not able to. Luckily, we are moving.
