Summary:
The city of Lewiston, Idaho is home to two middle schools: Jenifer Middle School and Sacajawea Middle School, both of which serve grades 6-8 and are part of the Lewiston Independent District. Based on the available data, Sacajawea Middle School appears to be the standout performer, consistently ranking higher statewide and demonstrating stronger academic achievement across various subjects and grade levels compared to Jenifer Middle School and the district average.
Sacajawea Middle School has consistently higher statewide rankings, placing 26th out of 166 Idaho middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year and 42nd out of 164 for the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, Sacajawea Middle School has a higher percentage of students proficient or better in ISAT/Math, ISAT/Science, and ISAT/English Language Arts across multiple grade levels and school years compared to Jenifer Middle School and the Lewiston Independent District average.

Both Jenifer Middle School and Sacajawea Middle School have a chronic absenteeism rate of 15.0% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average.

Overall, the data analysis highlights Sacajawea Middle School as the standout performer in the Lewiston middle school landscape, with consistently higher academic achievement, while the district as a whole is performing well, though the high chronic absenteeism rates across both schools warrant further investigation and intervention.
