Elementary Schools in Astoria School District 1

Elementary schools in Astoria School District 1 consist of two schools enrolling 694 students in Astoria, Oregon: Astor Elementary School, which serves grades K–2 with 342 students, and Lewis & Clark Elementary School, which serves grades 3–5 with 352 students. The district is ranked 81st of 141 in Oregon, at the 43rd percentile with 2 stars.

Because the elementary grades are split by band, only Lewis & Clark has state test-score data — Astor's missing scores reflect not-applicable grades, not low performance. On other measures, both schools serve high-poverty populations and spend heavily per student. Astor's free/reduced lunch rate is 70.76% versus 66.19% at Lewis & Clark; per-student spending is $19,374 and $18,033, respectively, and Astor's student-teacher ratio of 13.6 is lower than Lewis & Clark's 14.4. Chronic absenteeism is a relative strength for both: Astor's 25.2% and Lewis & Clark's 27.1% are both below the district's 30.5% and the state's 33.5%.

Lewis & Clark's clearest academic strength is science, at 34.1% proficient — above the district's 29.8% and the state's 30.6% — with 5th-grade ELA at 48%, above the state's 47.1%. Mathematics is a concern at every tested grade: all-grade math is 28.4% versus 32.9% statewide, with the widest gap in 3rd grade (29.2% versus 41.3%) and 5th grade at 26.4% against the state's 32.4%. The school's rank has also slipped from the 49th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 43rd percentile in 2025–2026, holding at 2 stars.
