Hate is such a strong word to use, but I hate this school!! The teachers and principals do not care one bit about these students. The older kids ridiculously misbehave and use curse words regularly throughout the day. When the younger kids tell nothing is done. I’ve requested a class change for my child who is constantly getting bullied and has been denied. Contacted the BOE and still hasn’t received my call back. The principal needs to do better with taking care of the students that are not being treated fairly and the teachers need to stop ignoring everything and running their mouths in the hallway during class time instead of watching the students. If possible pick another school because this school is the worst in Henry county.

Mrs. Travis is the reason this school is turning around. She is top notch...honestly, she is on the same level as Mrs. Flounroy at Pates Creek. The difference is, Pates Creek has a wealthy demographics of students whereas Cotton Indian is on the lower income side. So hats off to Mrs. Travis her leadership is turning the school around in record breaking time. Soon enough Cotton Indian/North Henry could be the place to be.

I cannot say enough great things about this school. I am very picky on where I let my children go to school and I had reservations about this school since it has a 6/10 rating. Let me tell you.....amazing staff and teachers. My son has excelled this year and really retains what he is taught. He absolutely loves it here. A+ school!

10/10. This is a school with teachers and administration who care. They teach according to and above what the state standards require! I strongly advise any parent to put their kids here! We have lived here for 9 years and unfortunately my husband's job has relocated us to another state. The PTO is great and the school is all around awesome! This school is the best in the county in my book, just because they care about your children holistically! I have nothing but great things to say about CIE! Go Cougars!

I'm surprised all of these ratings are so old, but WOW!! We love this school :) The teachers actually CARE and want your child to succeed. My child is now in the 2nd grade, and we've been at this school for 3yrs now. We love everyone. So glad we're in this district!!!! The principal is very personable and the parents are very involved with this school as well. The students are always smiling and happy. GREAT JOB COTTON INDIAN! GO COUGARS!

We heard this was a good school. Our daughter went to kindergarten and first grade there and had problems both years with bad teachers. The first year it was a new teacher who hopefully will improve when she has some experience. The second year she had a teacher who made fun of her and started all the kids on a "red light" every morning and if they were good enough they could move to yellow or green. Not very encouraging for 1st graders. We also experienced reverse discrimination from her. We had to go to the BOE over this problem before it was handled at school level. Even though they finally moved her to another room where she had a good teacher, she would say hi to her old one and the woman never spoke to her again. Pretty rude. Hopefully these issues will be addressed in the future in a more timely manner. Children should not have to fight for a good school experience.

I had two children attend this school. Thank goodness we were white and not black or jewish. Wow. Very prejudice in a covert way. Also, they do not recognize giftedness. I had to insist that they test my highly gifted child because the teacher did not recognize the signs that she was bored. The teacher recommended flunking a child with a 140 IQ! Glad we are no longer in GA.
