School Overview

Tucked away in the small desert community of Big River along the Colorado River, Monument Peak serves a tight-knit rural community where everyone tends to know everyone. The school punches above its weight in math, making it a solid choice for families who want their kids building strong numeracy skills in an intimate, small-town setting. Life out here is quiet and unhurried — think wide open desert landscapes and river access — and for families who value that pace, Monument Peak offers a grounded K-8 experience that carries kids all the way through middle school without ever losing that close community feel.
