The Missouri Heights School, in Garfield County, Colorado near Carbondale, Colorado, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]

The 26 by 44 feet (7.9 m × 13.4 m) school was built in 1917. It is located at an elevation of 6,950 feet (2,120 m) "in a rolling open alpine plateau area known since the late 1800s as Missouri Heights. Surrounded by cattle range and scrubland thick with sagebrush, the Missouri Heights School property includes a school building, a teacherage, two outhouses and a coal shed."[2]

It is located on County Road 102, 0.5 miles (0.80 km) east of its junction with County Road 100, and is about 4 miles (6.4 km) northeast of the town of Carbondale.[2]
