Summary:

Pocatello District serves approximately 23 schools — 14 elementary, 4 middle, 4 high, and 1 alternative school — across the Pocatello area, ranking 38th out of 101 Idaho districts (62nd percentile) with a 3-star rating. The district overall shows a mixed picture: elementary schools excel in math but lag in English Language Arts, high schools struggle with math but shine in ELA, and chronic absenteeism (17.9%) runs above the state rate (13.8%). Graduation rate data is not usable for comparisons, as every high school reports the same 82.5% figure as the district and state.

Several schools stand out as genuine bright spots. Edahow Elementary School is a star performer, ranked #2 of 346 Idaho elementary schools (99th percentile, 5 stars) with math proficiency of 81.9% and ELA of 83.9% — far ahead of district averages — despite a 43.8% free/reduced lunch rate. Gate City Elementary School ranks #54 (84th percentile) with the district's lowest poverty rate (22.6%) and efficient spending ($6,556 per student). Among middle schools, Franklin Middle School is the clear leader at #31 of 174 (82nd percentile), the only middle school above district averages in all core subjects. At the high school level, Century High School ranks #25 of 122 (80th percentile) with notably strong science and ELA scores, while Pocatello High School improved from the 48th to 63rd percentile over two years.

However, the data reveals persistent challenges. High school end-of-course math proficiency sits at just 34.4% district-wide. Elementary ELA is a concern, with schools like Tyhee Elementary School, Jefferson Elementary School, and Claude A Wilcox Elementary School falling into the high-30s to low-40s. Absenteeism does not predict performance: Century High has the highest chronic absenteeism among comprehensive high schools (28.6%) yet is the top-ranked high school, while Jefferson Elementary has low absenteeism (11.4%) but struggles academically. Poverty is not destiny — Edahow Elementary School and Chubbuck Elementary School outperform despite moderate poverty levels. Finally, spending does not guarantee results: New Horizon High School spends $13,073 per student, nearly double the elementary average, yet reports very low proficiency. The district needs targeted support in high school math and elementary reading.
