Lewiston Elementary
Summary:

Lewiston, California, has one listed school, Lewiston Elementary, serving grades K–8 and 68 students; the dataset includes no other local schools for comparison. The most important finding is that its 2025–26 all-grades results were below California’s in ELA, math and science: 35% versus 49%, 28% versus 38%, and 20% versus 36%, gaps of 14, 10 and 16 percentage points, respectively.

There is no local top or bottom school to identify, but Lewiston Elementary stands out for a particularly low fifth-grade math result. In 2025–26, 8% of fifth graders met the math standard, compared with 37% statewide—a gap of 28 percentage points; the school’s all-grades math result was 20 points higher. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 21st percentile statewide and gave it one star in 2025–26, rather than ranking it against other Lewiston schools.

Results improved in ELA and math from 2024–25 to 2025–26, though the school remained below state results. ELA rose 5 percentage points and math rose 6 points, while California’s results increased by less than 1 point in ELA and 1 point in math; the gaps narrowed by 4 points in ELA and 5 in math. SchoolDigger’s ranking history also shows a lower relative statewide position: 78th percentile and four stars in 2005–06, compared with 21st percentile and one star in 2025–26. Other context includes 12% chronic absenteeism versus 18% statewide in 2025–26, a 22.8:1 student–teacher ratio in 2024–25, and 69% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25. These figures describe the school but do not establish what accounts for its test results.
