Lowry Elementary celebrates our students' diverse backgrounds. Highly qualified teachers deliver a robust academic program in a nurturing environment that inspires learning, sharing and promoting the joys of childhood. Located in a redeveloped neighborhood near the former Lowry Air Force Base, our state-of-the-art educational facility opened in 2002 and is the center of neighborhood activity. We are proud to be a Conscious Discipline school and we value social-emotional learning as well as academic learning. We offer a comprehensive gardening program for students (including seed to cafeteria table), 4-year-old ECE, full-day only ECE and kindergarten classes and one Affective Needs classroom for third- through fifth-grade students. We offer fee-based Discovery Link programming and enrichments by ELCS.
