The Cottonwood School No. 45 is a historic school building, now converted to a residence, in rural Boone County, Arkansas. It is located on Dubuque Road, northeast of the hamlet of Self. It is a single-story Craftsman style structure, finished in rubblestone veneer on a concrete foundation. A gabled porch extends across the central portion of the main facade, supported by three tapered posts on stone piers. The main roof is a gable-on-hip form. The school was built in 1926, and served the local community as a school and meeting place until 1945. It was converted to residential use in 1948, and underwent major rehabilitation in the 1980s.[1]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
