Summary

Lewis & Clark Middle School is a public school serving about 815 students in grades 6-8 within the Yakima School District, operating in a community where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

While the school's overall academic performance is low compared to the state, ranking in the 11th percentile, it shows important strengths and a clear trend of improvement over recent years. Notably, Lewis & Clark is more effective with specific student groups, ranking significantly higher for its migrant students (50th percentile) and economically disadvantaged students than its overall score suggests. The school also performs relatively well in science compared to other subjects and is the second-highest performing middle school among its direct peers in the Yakima School District, behind only Franklin Middle School.

Comparisons to nearby districts highlight the challenging context; for instance, West Valley Mid-Level Campus (65th percentile) serves a less economically disadvantaged population. Within its own district, all middle schools struggle, indicating broader systemic challenges. The school's per-student spending is comparable to others in the area, but its improving trajectory and specific successes suggest it is implementing some effective supports for its students.
