School boundaries & a home search
Verify the address before relying on a school assignment.
District boundaries and individual school attendance areas answer different questions. Check both for each property on the shortlist.
1. Start with the district’s resources.
Use the official School Finder and Street Directory and District Overview and Maps. Keep the complete street address available, including the house number and any unit designation. A town name or ZIP code is too broad to establish a property’s assigned schools.
2. Confirm the school year and grade.
Ask the district to verify the assigned elementary, middle and high school for the address and intended year of attendance. Do not infer a feeder pattern from a nearby school, another home in the neighborhood or a previous listing.
3. Resolve unclear or new addresses.
If a street, unit or new-construction address is missing from the directory, contact D38 Student Enrollment at 719-488-4701. Request confirmation for the specific property before treating a listing’s school field or a map screenshot as conclusive.
4. Check the daily logistics.
Review current transportation information, bus registration and any non-transport area that may apply. Ask about the particular address and enrollment situation. School assignment and transportation eligibility should be checked separately.

Lewis-Palmer High School
Lewis-Palmer High School’s Higby Road campus is a starting point for exploring D38’s high school options.
The school’s 2026–27 registration and course materials include grade-level planning documents, career and technical education information, and honors and Advanced Placement resources. Its academic pathways also span visual and performing arts, world languages, business, technology and the sciences.
For a student planning a transfer or the move into ninth grade, review the current course handbook with the counseling office. Ask about prerequisites, placement, graduation requirements and the availability of courses that matter to the student’s plans.
Explore the school’s Advanced Placement, concurrent enrollment and career and technical education resources for the details of those pathways. Course listings are a planning resource; confirm current availability and eligibility with the school.

Assigned-school enrollment and school choice
D38 describes choice enrollment as the process through which in-district and non-resident families may be authorized to attend a school other than their assigned neighborhood school. A choice request requires its own review.
For the assigned school
Start with D38 Student Enrollment. Review the current registration steps and required documents. If a move or closing is still pending, ask the district what it needs to establish enrollment for the intended start date.
For a different school
Read the district’s Choice Enrollment information for the intended school year. Verify current application dates, requirements, availability and the decision process. Do not plan on attendance at a requested school until the district confirms approval.
Common questions
Schools and a move to the Monument area
Does every home with a Monument address attend D38?
A mailing address alone is not a reliable district or school-assignment check. Verify the complete property address with the appropriate district. Start with D38’s School Finder and Street Directory, and contact the district if the result is unclear.
How can a buyer confirm Lewis-Palmer High School’s boundary?
Use the official district resources, then ask D38 to confirm whether Lewis-Palmer High School is assigned to the exact address for the intended school year. A nearby campus, an old map or another property’s assignment is not enough to establish the answer.
Does living near a school guarantee admission there?
Proximity does not establish assignment or a choice approval. Check the district’s address-based assignment and, when applicable, the separate choice or charter-school enrollment process.
What should be asked during a school visit?
Ask about current courses, student support, activities, schedules, enrollment and transportation. For a transferring high school student, bring questions about course placement, credit review and graduation planning. Arrange visits directly with the school.
Who should verify a listing’s school information?
The district should confirm the school assignment for the property and school year. Monument Broker can help with the real estate search and property questions; the district or school is the authority on enrollment and attendance eligibility.
