Lowry Elementary School

Our family "choiced" into Lowry, and has not been disappointed with this choice. After 5 years at Lowry. Being involved in PTO,we get to have a closer hands-on experience seeing all the great things going on in this school. The efforts at being more inclusive of all our school's culturally, racially, economically and academically diverse population, increase each year as the school evolves and the Lowry neighborhood completes its development. This school has an extremely diverse population, and there are subsequent challenges as a result. The entire community --students, parents, teachers and administration -- have developed innovative and creative programs to assist both challenged kids and "gifted" kids. At Lowry, ALL our kids are "gifted," and really lucky to have such a great team that knows how to bring out the best in every student. Great parent involvement. Wonderful teachers (for the most part) and a great principal.

Lowry Elementary has definitely become one of the strongest Elementary Schools in the district. With an extremely strong parent involvement and teacher satisfaction rating it just keeps getting better and better. It has curriculum for every type of student, amazing art & music classrooms, as well as Challenge & Enrichment programs.

The climate at this school is outstanding. The principal and teachers strive to meet the needs of all students and do so with success. The extra activities are wonderful and so are the special offerings. Both of my children (one GT) are finding learning enjoyable. I also love the parent community.

Take the time to visit this school - it's impressive. The academics are strong. The school goes above and beyond to meet the learning needs of each child. Exceptional teachers and staff. Outstanding administrative leadership. Unmatched parent involvement. Many learning opportunities outside the classroom... two gardens, enrichment program, challenge classes, technology, art, gym, music, library, drama and more.

Our daughter is in kindergarten and also attended the ECE program. We are extremely happy with the school in all aspects -- excellent administration, great parental involvement, great teachers, and so on. Our daughter is very happy there and we can see that she is being sufficiently challenged. I am glad to see a big increase in the number of parents choosing to send their kids to Lowry. At the same time, I like the diversity -- it breaks up the homogeneity you'd otherwise see in a new suburban school, but it never feels overwhelming or challenging.

We have been attending and involved with this school since inception in 2001. The staff and leadership is top notch. The parent involvement is un-matched. The kids are very engaged. Please look at Lowry as a choice. Torgerson.

This is an outstanding school with excellent leadership, dedicated and well trained staff and high parent involvement. The students take genuine pride in their school, which is no surprise given all the innovative programs offered there, which significantly impact all Lowry students, from the highly gifted to the high achieving to those performing below grade level. In addition, the school has the highest teacher satisfication rating in all of Denver Public Schools! It's truly a wonderful place to be and we feel fortunate to have such an outstanding public school in our neighborhood. The bonus is that we can walk or bike there daily!

We have 3 children that attend Lowry. Our eldest child has been at the school since it opened. We have been very pleased with both the academic and extra curricular activities at the school. We are in the position to send our children to a private school if we desire. However, we feel that the educational opportunities and social diversity at Lowry cannot be matched.

I have two students at Lowry, my oldest has attended the school since 2005. Both of my children have been thriving in the school, thanks to wonderful teachers, programs and administration. The teachers are exceptional in their ability to teach to different learning styles and abilities in the classroom, as well as being caring and compassionate. Lowry offers an excellent and always improving program for gifted students, including a challenge program available to all students who excell in various areas, and a G/T program, run by a full-time gifted teacher. Their art program is exceptional, and the new on-site garden and garden program show great promise. Where Lowry it truly unique is in it's diverse student population. My children have thrived in the multi-cultural, multi-socio-economic environment, which I find to be a wonderful part of their education.
