Summary

Lewis And Clark Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 276 students in grades PK-4 in Williston, North Dakota, which is part of the Williston Basin 7 school district.

Academically, the school consistently underperforms the state and district averages in math, reading, and science proficiency across all grades. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's math proficiency rate was 39%, compared to the state average of 41% and the district average of 27%. The school's performance is particularly weak for its White and low-income student populations, ranking in the bottom 20% of North Dakota elementary schools for these subgroups. Additionally, the school has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16% to 37% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

While Garden Valley Elementary and Wilkinson Elementary schools, which are also part of the Williston Basin 7 district, outperform Lewis And Clark Elementary academically, the school still outperforms other Williston Basin 7 elementary schools, such as Missouri Ridge Elementary and Hagan Elementary, which rank among the lowest in the state. Despite spending more per student than the nearby schools, the additional funding does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes for Lewis And Clark Elementary.

IMPORTANT NOTE: North Dakota does not publish exact assessment percentages; instead, results are reported as ranges (e.g., 20-29%) to protect student privacy in smaller groups. The proficiency rates displayed on SchoolDigger are calculated using midpoint imputation—the center value of each reported range. Actual values may differ by up to 5 percentage points from the figures shown.

SchoolDigger data sources: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Census Bureau and the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction.

About North Dakota Assessment Data: To protect student privacy, the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction reports assessment results as percentage ranges rather than exact values. SchoolDigger calculates proficiency rates using midpoint imputation, which uses the center value of each reported range. For example, a reported range of 20-29% is represented as 24.5%. As a result, the proficiency rates shown may vary by approximately ±5 percentage points from actual values. This variance is most significant for individual grade/subject combinations and diminishes when data is aggregated across multiple grades or subjects.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS: Not all boundaries are included. We make every effort to ensure that boundaries are up-to-date. But it's important to note that these are approximations and are for general informational purposes only. To verify legal descriptions of boundaries or school locations, contact your local tax assessor's office and/or school district.
