Lewiston Independent District

Summary:

The Lewiston Independent District in Idaho operates 11 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 22 out of 96 districts in the state and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out for their strong performance. Camelot Elementary School consistently ranks among the top 25 elementary schools in Idaho and earns a 5-star rating, with over 70% of students proficient or better in core subjects. Sacajawea Middle School is also a high performer, ranking in the top 26 middle schools and earning a 4-star rating. Meanwhile, Orchards Elementary School has strong performance, ranking in the top 65 elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities within the district. While some schools excel, others like Centennial Elementary, Whitman Elementary, and McGhee Elementary struggle, with test scores well below the district and state averages. This suggests the district may need to address equity gaps and understand the drivers behind these performance differences.
