Summary

Edahow Elementary School is a K-5 school in Pocatello, Idaho, serving 258 students and ranked #2 out of 346 Idaho elementary schools for the 2025-2026 school year — a remarkable standing within the Pocatello District, which ranks 38th out of 101 districts statewide.

Edahow's academic results are exceptional. In math, 81.9% of students are proficient, compared to 44.8% in the district and 43.1% across Idaho. In English language arts, 83.9% are proficient versus 58.0% districtwide and 54.0% statewide. The school also excels in 5th-grade science, with 74.5% proficiency versus roughly 44% at the district and state levels. Every nearby school trails by wide margins: Gate City Elementary, the next-best school in the area, is 18 points lower in math, 10 points lower in ELA, and 24.5 points lower in science. Tendoy Elementary, less than a mile away, ranks 263rd in the state — a stark contrast to Edahow's #2 position.

Beyond test scores, Edahow posts a chronic absenteeism rate of just 10.7%, well below the district's 17.9% and the state's 13.8%. This excellence has been sustained for over a decade, with the school climbing from #57 in 2012-2013 to the top 10 in recent years. Notably, Edahow has maintained or improved its outcomes even as its free/reduced lunch rate rose from 29.9% to 43.8% between 2022-2023 and 2024-2025 — math proficiency actually increased during that period, from 76.8% to 81.9%. With a student-teacher ratio of 17.7:1 and per-student spending of $8,073, Edahow is reasonably well-resourced, but its results indicate that strong instruction, leadership, and school culture are the real drivers of its success.
