These are the numbers the school gave the U.S. Department of Education for the 2023-24 school year, published in July 2026. The survey counts students in kindergarten to grade 12, not pre-K. Enrollment and staffing move every year, so ask the school for today’s figures. Where this comes from. Something wrong? Tell us and we will fix it.

Cottonwood Day School tuition, and what SSO tax credit pays

We have not verified a tuition figure for Cottonwood Day School yet. Every private school sets its own price and most share it on request: ask for the full-year tuition for your child’s grade plus required fees, or look for a tuition page on the school’s website. Then put the figure in the calculator below to see what SSO tax credit leaves you to pay.

Set by each scholarship organization EdChoice reports an average of $2,190 in 2022-23. By law a scholarship cannot exceed the state per-pupil average of total public school spending (MCA 15-30-3103).
