School Overview

Tucked into the west side of Yakima, Cottonwood Elementary stands out as one of the stronger elementary options in a city better known for its agricultural roots and stunning proximity to wine country and the Cascades. Families drawn to a school that punches above its weight academically — particularly in English and math — will find a lot to like here, and the 98908 zip code offers a quieter, more suburban feel compared to central Yakima. It's a solid choice for families planting roots in the valley who want a neighborhood school with real academic substance.
