Summary

Lewis And Clark Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 178 students in grades PK-5 in Grand Forks, North Dakota. The school is part of the Grand Forks 1 school district, which is ranked 69 out of 134 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school has had a mixed performance on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in math, reading, and science below the district and state averages for most grade levels. However, the school stands out for its exceptional performance for low-income students, consistently ranking among the top North Dakota elementary schools for this subgroup. This indicates that the school is effectively serving its most disadvantaged students. In contrast, when compared to other nearby elementary schools in the Grand Forks 1 district, Lewis And Clark Elementary School generally performs worse on standardized tests, with lower proficiency rates.

One area of concern for the school is its high chronic absenteeism rate, which has ranged from 20-23% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. The school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $14,707 to $17,713 over the past few years, suggests that the district may need to examine how resources are being allocated and utilized to improve student outcomes. Overall, the school's performance should be closely monitored, and targeted interventions and support should be provided to address areas of weakness and build on the school's strengths in serving disadvantaged students.

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.

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.
