Original Research by School Decision on Camelot Elementary School
Camelot Elementary sits on Lewiston's Grelle Avenue, serving kindergarten through fifth grade as one of several elementary schools in the Lewiston Independent District. It is a regular public school in a city that functions as the regional hub for the Lewis-Clark Valley, where the Snake and Clearwater Rivers meet. The school draws from a community anchored by agriculture, paper and timber products, ammunition manufacturing, and Lewis-Clark State College. The Port of Lewiston, publicly reported as Idaho's only seaport, reinforces the city's role as a distribution and logistics point.
The student body is small for an elementary school and notably homogeneous. The overwhelming majority of students are white, with only a handful from other racial or ethnic backgrounds. The share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price meals is very low, which places Camelot well outside the profile of a high-poverty school. Data on individualized education programs and English learner status was not available, so those dimensions of student support cannot be assessed here.
On state testing, the picture is partial. Idaho's ISAT results for the most recent year show fifth-grade math and science proficiency at solid levels, with a majority of tested fifth graders meeting or exceeding the proficiency bar. Fifth-grade ELA results were reported only as a range, and the third- and fourth-grade results in both math and ELA came back as wide ranges rather than precise figures, a pattern that often reflects how the state suppresses small-group data. This means a parent looking at third or fourth grade gets a less specific read than the fifth-grade numbers allow. No multi-year trend data was available in usable form, so it is hard to say whether these results reflect a stable pattern or a single year's snapshot. Average scale scores and participation rates were also missing.
The housing market around Camelot tells a mixed story for families considering a move. Typical home values in the school's zip code sit below the Idaho state benchmark but modestly above the national one, and rents are quite affordable relative to local incomes. The price-to-income ratio suggests that buying a home here is more attainable than in many parts of the state, though current mortgage rates add pressure. Lewiston's population has grown slowly, and the city's economy is described as gradually diversifying, with industrial park and waterfront development sites on the books. A parent weighing the area would find a stable, working regional center rather than a fast-growing suburb.
What is missing from this profile is substantial. The data set does not include discipline records, advanced course or program offerings, staffing ratios, attendance rates, or a neighbor comparison placing Camelot against other schools in the region. Title I status was not reported. The district brief turned up little in the way of recent parent-relevant changes. These gaps mean the academic results, demographics, and housing context carry most of the weight in understanding this school.
For a family, Camelot reads as a small, relatively advantaged elementary school in a mid-sized regional city with affordable housing and a steady local economy. The fifth-grade test results are a point of strength. The thinness of data elsewhere, particularly the suppressed results in lower grades and the absence of program or staffing information, means a parent would want to ask the school directly about what happens in the classrooms those numbers do not capture.
