I think it's called Eagle Glen or something with eagle. I know a NWA/Delta guy who put both his kids through middle and high school there and he seemed happy with it. Nice golf course, too, although dragging a bag around at 6000ft will wear you out.
It's Gleneagle, on the south side of Monument. It's an older community (home age). To commute out of both cities, Castle Rock is a little bit closer to Denver, but commutable to COS. Monument/Palmer Lake is closer to COS but commutable to DEN. Schools in Monument are very good.
