Lewis-Clark State College is a public college in Lewiston, Idaho, United States. It was founded 133 years ago in 1893 and has an approximate annual enrollment of 3,600. The college offers more than 130 degrees.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the $12,832 average net price and low median debt of $10,989 make this one of the more affordable options you'll find, but a 45% graduation rate and 64% freshman retention rate suggest many students struggle to finish — worth asking why before enrolling. Median earnings of $38,200 a decade out are modest, so this fits best if you're pursuing a specific career-focused program (like nursing, education, or a trade-aligned degree) where the credential has clear local or regional value. If you need a low-cost path and have a concrete plan, it can work — but go in with eyes open about the completion challenges.
