Camelot Elementary School

Camelot Elementary School is a top-performing K–5 school in Lewiston, ID, serving 310 students as part of the Lewiston Independent District. It is the highest-ranked elementary school in the district, placing 47th out of 346 Idaho elementary schools (86th percentile) for the 2025–2026 school year, and earning a consistent 4- or 5-star rating in recent years.

Academically, Camelot excels across the board, but its math program is particularly strong. In 2025–2026, 72.6% of students were proficient in math, compared to 54.7% for the district and 43.1% statewide—a nearly 30-point advantage over the state average. English Language Arts proficiency was also high at 69.5%, and 3rd-grade math scores were exceptional at 84.4% proficiency. These results put Camelot well ahead of nearby schools like Orchards Elementary, the district’s second-highest-ranked school, where math proficiency was 60.2%. Even with a slight dip in scores from 3rd to 5th grade, Camelot remains firmly above district and state averages in every subject and grade level.

Camelot also stands out for its very low chronic absenteeism rate of just 6.7% in 2025–2026, compared to 14.9% for the district and rates above 15% at several nearby schools like Webster Elementary and Whitman Elementary. The school has shown steady improvement over the past decade, climbing from a 3-star rating in most years between 2014 and 2021 to consistent 4- and 5-star results recently. It’s worth noting that Camelot serves a more affluent attendance area, with a free/reduced-price lunch rate of 15.16%, far lower than most other Lewiston elementary schools. While this context is important for comparisons, Camelot’s strong attendance, academic performance, and sustained improvement make it a standout choice for families in the Lewiston area.
