About Us

Cooperstown Central School District spans approximately 99 square miles across five towns in rural, north-central Otsego County, New York, serving students in grades K–12. Nestled on the southern edge of the historic Village of Cooperstown, our district aims to be a model for academic achievement and rural community-based learning.
