Summary

Lewis-Palmer Elementary School, a PK-6 school in Monument, CO, serves 409 students as part of the highly regarded Lewis-Palmer Consolidated School District No. 38. The school holds a 4-star state rating and ranks in the 79th percentile of Colorado elementary schools — a solid performance, though several nearby schools, including Prairie Winds Elementary, Bear Creek Elementary, Discovery Canyon Campus Elementary, and The Classical Academy Charter, post stronger results on state assessments.

Math is a relative strength at Lewis-Palmer: 57.7% of students are proficient, well above the district's 52.6% and the state's 37.3%, with 6th grade math exceeding the district by nearly 12 points. The 4th grade cohort is exceptional — its 74.1% ELA proficiency tops all nearby schools — but 3rd grade reading is a concern. Just 46.8% of 3rd graders are proficient in ELA, more than 13 points below the district average and lower than nearly every neighboring elementary school. Science also lags, at 48.1% proficiency versus the district's 51.7%, and scores have been volatile in recent years.

The school has slipped from its 2021-22 peak, when it ranked in the 94th percentile, but the most recent year shows improvement — climbing from 241st to 200th statewide. It serves a growing share of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch (19% in 2024-25, up from 7.8% two years earlier), and its 14.3% chronic absenteeism rate is moderate for the area. Compared to Monument Charter Academy, its nearest neighbor just 0.37 miles away, Lewis-Palmer outperforms it dramatically in both ELA (59.3% vs. 45.3%) and math (57.7% vs. 40.3%). Overall, the school offers strong math instruction and a standout 4th grade, with early literacy and science as its clearest opportunities for improvement.

Our daughter has been attending this school for 2 years and absolutely loves it! I was very impressed how quickly she picked up reading and writing during her first year at kindergarten. She has excelled more than we could've imagined.

We are looking forward to our son enrolling in kindergarten next year and are completely confident in this school.

Staff is excellent, teachers are the best, school is clean and the keep the atmosphere fun. HIGHLY recommend this school! Close Quote
