Summary

Lewis & Clark Elementary School is a highly-regarded, 4-star public elementary school serving 471 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in the Richland School District, consistently outperforming both district and state averages in core subjects.

The school stands out for its strong and improving academic track record, particularly in science where over 71% of students are proficient, and for achieving these results while serving a student population where over half qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. It has shown impressive, consistent growth over the past five years and has made remarkable recent progress in supporting students in special education. Compared to nearby schools, Lewis & Clark often performs as well as or better than schools with lower rates of economic need, such as Badger Mountain Elementary, and significantly outperforms schools with similar demographics like Marcus Whitman Elementary.

Within its own district, Lewis & Clark holds a solid middle position, performing well above schools like Sacajawea Elementary though not quite at the very top tier of Orchard Elementary. A notable finding is the stark performance gap between schools in the Richland School District and those in the neighboring Pasco School District, where schools like Three Rivers Elementary rank much lower despite similar spending. Parents may note that while the school excels in 3rd and 5th grades, 4th grade scores are relatively lower, indicating a potential focus area for support.
