Lowry Elementary School

Send your kids here if you hate them this school will only cares about the teachers, I heard about a kid attempting in the school bathroom the kids avoid school counselors because all the school counselors do is tell the parents like it was the parents hating the kids and, one time I ate the chicken nuggets and it was uncooked, And coming from someone who was here them don't take action for when the spanish speaking classes start fights and blame the kids English-speaking kids for it and some how provoking it, I remember sitting at lunch and some boys from the Spanish speaking class started a fight with the other class and it was the English-speaking class that stop the fight before the teachers did.

We have one daughter who is attending Montclair and another who will be attending starting next year and our experience so far has been terrific. We've experienced thoughtful teachers, teachers aides, principal, and front staff admins. We love that they have art, performance art, and gym teachers. Our daughter is excelling and being given ample opportunity to be challenged. We appreciate the Social-Emotional development classes the school offers for parents to learn more about effective parenting. It's been a warm welcoming environment. And with the Principal that just started in the 24/25 academic year, I expect things to continue to trend up. Of challenges or things that could improve, I'd like better school parent engagement (as opposed to teacher engagement, which has been good). There has been some school outreach, but the follow through on getting parents engaged hasn't been strong. We noticed that school communication of upcoming events were sometimes late or contradictory, but that seems to have improved recently. Also, I which the school offered more sports teams, but that's not a major concern. Ultimately, we've enjoyed it so much that we've recruited some local friends with kids to join our kids over at Montclair.

We wish every child could learn like the kids at ISDenver do! Bilingualism is just the beginning - these kids are creative, curious, and thinking critical is baked into everything that they do.
