School Overview
Plainview Elementary School is a small, rural educational institution located in Sheridan Lake, Colorado. As part of the Plainview School District RE-2, the school serves a close-knit agricultural community in Kiowa County. Because of its remote location, the school functions as a vital hub for the local area, typically maintaining very small class sizes that allow for personalized instruction and a supportive, family-like environment for its students.

The school is committed to providing a comprehensive elementary education that focuses on core academic subjects while fostering the social and emotional development of its pupils. Due to the limited population of the region, Plainview often emphasizes multi-age learning and community involvement, ensuring that students receive individualized attention. The school serves as a central pillar for the Sheridan Lake community, reflecting the values and needs of the families living in this rural stretch of southeastern Colorado.
