About Cottonwood-Oak Creek School District
Cottonwood-Oak Creek’s current school network is broader than the “elementary district” label suggests. The district lists four K–8 schools—Dr. Daniel Bright, Mountain View Preparatory, Oak Creek, and Cottonwood Community—along with Verde Tech High School. Mingus Union is the regional comprehensive high-school partner identified by the two districts.
Verde Tech creates an in-district secondary route. Its official site describes an agricultural-science focus and publishes a four-day student schedule with no school on Fridays. That choice changes the full high-school environment and weekly timetable. After eighth grade, Cottonwood-Oak Creek offers two genuinely different directions: a regional comprehensive path through Mingus and a smaller agricultural-science path inside the district.
