School Overview

Cottonwood is a K-12 charter school tucked into the rolling foothills of El Dorado Hills, a well-kept Sacramento suburb where the pace is a little slower and the outdoor access is hard to beat. The school draws families who want something beyond the traditional district path — a close-knit, K-12 community where kids can grow up knowing their teachers and neighbors in a genuine way. With especially strong math and science scores, it's a solid fit for families who value rigorous academics without the pressure of a big, anonymous campus.
