Summary

Lewis And Clark Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Mandan, North Dakota, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 379 students. The school is part of the Mandan 1 School District, which is ranked 66 out of 134 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's consistent underperformance compared to the Mandan 1 district and the state of North Dakota in academic proficiency, with declining proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science, the school's spending per student has increased over the years. The school's chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20% to 25%, are also significantly higher than the desired target of 10-15% for elementary schools. Additionally, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with male students generally outperforming female students and white students and low socioeconomic status (SES) students showing varying performance.

In comparison to nearby schools, such as Red Trail Elementary, Lakewood Elementary, and Ft Lincoln Elementary, Lewis And Clark Elementary School generally underperforms, with lower academic proficiency rates and higher chronic absenteeism. These nearby schools also have a lower percentage of students from low-income families, as indicated by their free and reduced lunch rates, suggesting a more advantaged student population.

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. To verify legal descriptions of boundaries or school locations, contact your local tax assessor's office and/or school district.
