The nearby schools, such as St Helens Arthur Academy, McBride Elementary School, and Columbia City School, also perform below the state averages in academic assessments, with similar challenges in student subgroup performance. However, the charter school, St Helens Arthur Academy, outperforms the other nearby public schools in both ELA and Mathematics, suggesting that the school's educational approach may be more effective. Additionally, Lewis & Clark Elementary School has a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 59.58% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, which may be a contributing factor to the school's overall academic performance.
