Better than 14% of Washington middle schools

Summary

Lewis & Clark Middle School serves 815 students in grades 6–8 in Yakima, Washington, as part of the Yakima School District. The school serves a high-need community, with 90.18% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Its statewide ranking has improved from the 3rd percentile between 2015–16 and 2020–21 to the 14th percentile in 2025–26, when it ranked 441st of 514 Washington schools. This is meaningful progress, although the school remains below the statewide midpoint and trails several nearby schools.

Math is Lewis & Clark’s strongest relative academic area. In 2025–26, proficiency was 22.19% in math, essentially matching the district average and slightly exceeding the results at Wilson Middle School, Franklin Middle School, and Washington Middle School. Lewis & Clark led those district schools in overall math and had especially strong results in 6th- and 8th-grade math; 7th grade was the main area needing attention. ELA proficiency was 31.13%, placing the school behind Wilson and Franklin but ahead of Washington. Science was the clearest weakness at 23.77%, below the district’s 33.17% and well behind Wilson and Franklin. Although science has improved over the longer term, its recent results have been uneven.

The school’s subgroup effectiveness rankings offer an encouraging sign: it ranked in the 61st percentile for migrant students, 35th for Hispanic students, and 30th for students from low-income households, all stronger than its overall 14th-percentile ranking. These results suggest that some support strategies may be working well for particular student groups. Lewis & Clark has similar enrollment, staffing, and spending to its district peers, so its improvement opportunities likely involve instruction and program implementation rather than substantially different resources. Compared with nearby schools such as East Valley Central Middle School, Selah Middle School, and West Valley Mid-Level Campus, achievement remains lower. The most important priorities are building on math gains, strengthening 7th-grade math, and improving science consistently across the school.
