Summary

Lewis And Clark Elementary is a PK–4 elementary school in Caldwell, Idaho, serving 348 students in the Caldwell District, which ranks near the bottom of Idaho school districts. The school's 2025–2026 state ranking of 345th out of 346 Idaho elementary schools places it at the 0th percentile statewide. Math proficiency sits at 15.9% and reading at 22.4%, far below the state averages of 43.1% and 54.0%. Roughly 74% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting a high-poverty student population.

Within the Caldwell District, Lewis And Clark Elementary trails several nearby schools. Van Buren Elementary School achieves 30.0% math and 31.4% reading proficiency, while Wilson Elementary School posts 28.1% math and 27.4% reading; only Sacajawea Elementary School has a lower reading rate at 17.6%. The school also shows a steep academic decline between 3rd and 4th grade, with math proficiency falling from 20.3% to 11.8% and reading from 28.4% to 17.1%. Despite spending $8,562 per student — more than any nearby school — Lewis And Clark produces some of the lowest test scores in the area, a disconnect worth understanding.

One bright spot is attendance: the school's 18.5% chronic absenteeism rate is well below the district's 29.9% and the lowest among same-district peers. Yet improved attendance has not translated into academic gains. Lewis And Clark ranked in the 46th percentile in 2011–2012 but has not risen above the 14th percentile since 2014–2015. Nearby out-of-district schools such as Desert Springs Elementary School (40.2% math, 52.8% reading) and Mosaics Public School (49.2% math, 50.2% reading) far outperform Lewis And Clark, underscoring the significant academic challenges ahead.
