Lewis-Palmer Middle School is a public middle school located in Monument, Colorado, serving 782 students in grades 7-8. It is part of the highly-ranked Lewis-Palmer Consolidated School District No. 38, which is ranked 12th out of 115 school districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lewis-Palmer Middle School consistently ranks among the top middle schools in Colorado, with impressive academic performance. On the CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success) tests, the school's proficiency rates significantly exceed the state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 63.4% of students were proficient or better in CMAS English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 44.8%. In CMAS Math, 46.1% of students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 35.9%. The school also maintains low dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 2.2% over the past 5 years, which is significantly lower than the state average.

While Lewis-Palmer Middle School outperforms most nearby middle schools in academic achievement, some nearby schools, such as Discovery Canyon Campus Middle School and Challenger Middle School, also demonstrate strong academic performance, with proficiency rates comparable to or even exceeding Lewis-Palmer Middle School in certain areas. However, the school's increasing chronic absenteeism rates, from 6.6% in 2021-2022 to 27.7% in 2023-2024, is a concerning trend that the school and district should closely monitor and address.
