Summary

Monument Charter Academy is an elementary public charter school serving grades PK-5 in Monument, Colorado, with 649 students. While the school is part of the highly-ranked Lewis-Palmer Consolidated School District No. 38, it has struggled to match the academic achievements of its neighboring public schools.

Monument Charter Academy has had higher chronic absenteeism rates and lower test scores on the CMAS assessments compared to the district and state averages. In 2024-2025, only 50.9% of all grades were proficient or better in ELA, and 43% were proficient in math, lagging behind the district and state. The school's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have also fluctuated between 2 and 3 stars out of 5, placing it in the middle of Colorado elementary schools. Additionally, the school's performance for female, male, and white student subgroups is lower than the state averages for those subgroups.

Interestingly, the nearby public schools in the Lewis-Palmer Consolidated School District No. 38, such as Ray E Kilmer Elementary, Palmer Lake Elementary, and Prairie Winds Elementary, generally outperform Monument Charter Academy on test scores, rankings, and ratings. This suggests that the traditional public schools in the district are providing a stronger educational experience for students.
