Summary

Lewis & Clark Elementary School is a public prekindergarten-through-fifth-grade school in Richland, Washington, serving 471 students in the Richland School District near Marcus Whitman Elementary and several other Richland schools. It ranks in the 76th percentile among Washington elementary schools for 2025–2026 and has a four-star rating.

The school’s academic results are stronger than both district and state averages in English language arts, math, and science. Proficiency rates are 61.99% in ELA, 56.25% in math, and 64.77% in science. Science is a particular strength, with results well above the state rate and higher than most nearby schools. Among local comparison schools, Lewis & Clark ranks second in ELA and third in math and science. Orchard Elementary is the clear local leader, while White Bluffs Elementary School posts especially strong science results. Lewis & Clark’s reported 15.9-to-1 student-teacher ratio is also relatively favorable compared with several nearby schools.

Long term, the school has improved substantially, rising from the 61st percentile in 2020–2021 to the 76th percentile currently, although its latest ranking and subject scores declined from the prior year. Fourth-grade math and fifth-grade ELA stand out as strengths, while fifth-grade math, at 48.31%, is the clearest academic area to monitor. The school also shows encouraging improvement for students receiving special education services, but results for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds have weakened recently. Overall, Lewis & Clark is a strong Richland option with solid performance across subjects, a diverse economic enrollment, and a need to sustain recent gains consistently across grades and student groups.
