Summary

Lewis And Clark Elementary School is a public elementary school in Minot, North Dakota, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 416 students. The school is part of the Minot 1 School District, which is ranked 83 out of 134 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $12,283 to $15,504 over the past 4 years, Lewis And Clark Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Dakota elementary schools, with a ranking between 135-180 out of 203-217 schools over the past 8 years. The school's performance on standardized tests is generally below the district and state averages, with proficiency rates in Math (39%), Reading (35.5%), and Science (24%) all lower than the Minot 1 district and North Dakota state averages. Compared to nearby higher-performing schools like John Hoeven Elementary and Edison Elementary, Lewis And Clark Elementary lags behind in academic achievement across all subjects and grade levels.

The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 36.54% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges. Additionally, Lewis And Clark Elementary has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20% to 28% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. To address these issues, the school should implement targeted interventions and support programs, develop strategies to improve attendance, and conduct a comprehensive review of its resource allocation to ensure funds are being directed towards evidence-based practices that can positively impact student outcomes.

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.
