Copper Creek Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Russell County Public Schools school district, located in Castlewood, VA with about 118 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to Kindergarten. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.
