The school's performance has been consistently low, with similarly low proficiency rates in the 2023-2024 school year as well. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which may contribute to its academic struggles.
Lewiston Middle School serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 62.43% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may present additional challenges for the school in terms of resources and support for its students.
