Come experience the school which inspires students to meet the challenges of life with vision, clarity, and purpose. Lew Wallace Elementary School is conveniently located in Downtown Albuquerque and has been serving children since 1934. There are currently nearly 200 students enrolled from kindergarten through fifth grade. This public school provides a nurturing community and challenging academics. It has a student-to-teacher ratio of 11:1, and this helps teachers meet students' needs by allowing for one-on-one time and individualized lesson plans. The school also fosters strong ties between itself, families, and the larger community by making food bags for the hungry and providing clothes and shoes to those in need. Lew Wallace Elementary offers a full-service library which was opened in 2004. Children have access to electronic books as well as physical copies. The library also provides passwords to databases like the Encyclopedia Britannica, Culturegrams, ImageQuest, and Brainfuse for research purposes. If a child is injured or feels unwell, they can visit the Health Office where the school nurse will evaluate and take the needed action for them. If you’re looking for an institution which cares for more than your child’s mind, has close ties to the community, and is constantly improving itself, Lew Wallace Elementary School is waiting for you.

I'm so happy with Lew Wallace. My first grader is excited to go to school every morning at a small safe school where everyone there knows her. The teachers are award winning and committed.
