While Lewis & Clark School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are slightly lower than the district and state averages, the school has shown some strengths in recent years. In the 2023-2024 and 2022-2023 school years, the school's proficiency rates in reading were higher than the district and state averages. However, the nearby Lewistown 7-8 school, which serves grades 7-8, outperforms Lewis & Clark School in English Language Arts and Science. Additionally, Lewis & Clark School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 52.45% in the 2023-2024 school year and 47.1% projected for the 2024-2025 school year, which is higher than the 45.96% rate at the Lewistown 7-8 school.

Interestingly, the nearby Moore 6-8 school, which is in a different district, has a significantly higher spending per student of $16,301 for the 2018-2019 school year, compared to the $9,262 spent per student at Lewistown 7-8 during the same period. This suggests that funding levels may not be the sole determinant of academic performance, and there may be other factors at play in the differences between these schools.
