School Overview
Cotopaxi Elementary School is a rural public school located in Cotopaxi, Colorado, serving as part of the Cotopaxi School District RE-3. Situated in the heart of Fremont County, the school provides educational services to students in the surrounding mountain community. Because of its location in a smaller school district, the elementary school is known for fostering a close-knit, supportive environment where students benefit from smaller class sizes and personalized attention from faculty and staff.

The school is committed to providing a well-rounded academic foundation while taking advantage of its unique setting in the Arkansas River Valley. By maintaining a focus on core curriculum, character development, and community engagement, Cotopaxi Elementary aims to prepare its students for successful transitions into middle school and beyond.
