Lewis and Clark Elementary ranks in the top 44% of Virginia elementary schools, while Madison Elementary falls in the bottom 35%. This performance gap is evident across subjects, with Lewis and Clark Elementary boasting higher percentages of students proficient or better in SOL/Mathematics, SOL/English Reading, and SOL/Science compared to the district and state averages.
