Summary

Indian Hills Elementary School is a K–5 school in Pocatello, Idaho, serving 497 students as part of the Pocatello District, where it has earned a 3-star rating and currently ranks 155th out of 346 Idaho elementary schools, placing it in the 55th percentile statewide — a solidly mid-tier position it has held for years.

Indian Hills' standout subject is math. In 2025–2026, 52.4% of students met math proficiency, compared to 44.8% for the district and 43.1% for the state, a pattern that has held for four straight years. English Language Arts is more of a mixed story: the school's 53.5% ELA proficiency roughly matches the state average of 54.0% but trails the district's 58.0%. The weakness appears concentrated in 5th grade, where ELA proficiency drops to 50.0%, below both district and state averages. Compared with nearby schools, Indian Hills is one of the stronger traditional elementary options in the area, outperforming Jefferson Elementary School, Tendoy Elementary School, Claude A Wilcox Elementary School, and Lewis & Clark Elementary School in most metrics. The notable exception is Edahow Elementary School, a statewide standout ranking 2nd in Idaho.

The most significant concern is chronic absenteeism, which has climbed sharply from 11.7% in 2023–2024 to 20.6% in 2025–2026 — the highest among nearby schools and well above the state rate of 13.8%. On a more positive note, Indian Hills earns strong marks for its low-income students, who ranked in the 69th percentile statewide with a 4-star rating. The school also spends less per student ($6,631) than most district peers, making its above-average math results and solid overall performance noteworthy. Indian Hills offers a dependable, mid-tier education with real strengths in math and equity — but the attendance trend is worth watching closely.
