Summary

Lewiston Elementary is a small K–8 school serving 68 students in Lewiston, California. In 2025–26, its proficiency results were below the state and the averages of nearby schools with reported scores in all three tested subjects. The most important finding is that students’ results remain below both state and nearby-school benchmarks across ELA, math and science.

Math is Lewiston’s strongest subject relative to its comparisons, while science is its weakest. The school had 28% proficiency in math, compared with 38% statewide and a 39% average at nearby schools; its gaps were 10 points below the state and 11 below nearby schools. ELA proficiency was 35%, versus 49% statewide and a 50% nearby average. Science was lowest at 20%, compared with 36% statewide and a 42% nearby average. The school’s reported district scores match its own in all three subjects. Among nearby schools with reported scores, Lewiston’s math result was higher than two and lower than three; its science result was higher than one of three. At fifth grade, math was especially low: 8% proficiency, 28 points below the state.

ELA and math have improved since 2022–23: ELA rose 10 points and math rose 13, while their gaps to the state narrowed by 7 and 9 points, respectively. Science rose 5 points over that period, but its gap to the state widened by 1 point. SchoolDigger placed Lewiston at the 21st percentile and rated it 1 star; nearby rankings were higher, including Shasta Elementary at the 49th percentile and Douglas City Elementary at the 83rd. In 2024–25, Lewiston’s student–teacher ratio was 22.8, compared with a nearby average of 16.3, and 69% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, above the nearby average of 63%. Attendance is a more favorable measure: chronic absenteeism was 12% in 2025–26, 7 points below the state. Several of Lewiston’s other grade-level scores were suppressed, so the available figures do not show how results compare across every grade.
