Elementary Schools in Pocatello District

Summary:

The Pocatello District in Idaho is home to 14 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 35 out of 96 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Several schools within the Pocatello District stand out as top performers. Edahow Elementary School is consistently ranked among the best in Idaho, currently 6th out of 337 schools statewide. It boasts exceptional test scores, with 83.5% of students proficient or better in math and 80.3% in English Language Arts. Chubbuck Elementary School and Gate City Elementary School also demonstrate strong academic performance, ranking 93rd and 57th in Idaho, respectively.

However, not all schools in the Pocatello District perform at the same high level. While some struggle with significantly lower proficiency rates in core subjects, the district as a whole faces challenges, such as a consistent 15.0% chronic absenteeism rate across all schools. Additionally, the schools vary in their free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 18.93% at Edahow Elementary to 69.74% at Jefferson Elementary, indicating a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds among the student populations. The district will need to identify and address the factors contributing to these performance disparities to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
