Located on the Eastern Plains, Kiowa is a small, rural community just east of Castle Rock, with a population of a little over 800 people. Some locals call this quaint town ''the best kept secret''. This ranching and farming community is in Elbert County and is home to Kiowa Schools. Approximately 340 students attend Kiowa Schools, spanning from preschool to 12th grade. Kiowa Schools is 4 days a week (Mon.-Thurs.) as well. Kiowa’s tightly knit rural community holds a rich history with many of our students' parents and grandparents being alumni of the district.
