Summary

Lewis and Clark High School is a small public high school serving about 96 students in grades 9-12 within the Vancouver School District, characterized by its very low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending.

The school presents a mixed academic profile, with a notable strength in English Language Arts where it outperforms both the district and state averages, but a significant challenge in mathematics where proficiency is well below average. With a current 2-star rating, its statewide ranking has been volatile in recent years, showing a decline from previous higher performance. A key positive trend is the school's dramatic historical improvement in graduation rates. Compared to larger comprehensive high schools in the area like Hudson's Bay High School and Fort Vancouver High School, Lewis and Clark operates with far fewer students and more resources per child, yet it does not achieve the same overall outcomes as the district's top-performing Vancouver School of Arts and Academics.

This high level of resources, including a very low student-to-teacher ratio, suggests Lewis and Clark may function as a specialized or alternative program. The school has a history of being effective with specific student populations, though recent data indicates a concerning performance gap between genders. For parents, the school offers a small, well-supported environment with strong English instruction, but the inconsistent rankings and math performance are important factors to consider alongside its peer schools in the region.
