Summary

Tyhee Elementary School in Pocatello, ID, serves 511 students in Pre-K through 5th grade and is the largest elementary school in the Pocatello District, yet it currently holds a 1-star rating and ranks 269th of 346 Idaho elementary schools for 2025-2026. The school's academic performance has declined steadily from its mid-2010s peak, when it earned 3 stars and ranked near the 55th–59th percentile. Economic need has risen during that same period, with the share of students qualifying for free/reduced-price lunch growing from 37.9% in 2022-2023 to 45.0% in 2024-2025.

Academically, Tyhee trails both district and state averages in every subject. In 2025-2026, math proficiency was 39.9% (compared with 44.8% district and 43.1% state), English language arts was 41.3% (compared with 58.0% district and 54.0% state), and 5th-grade science was 36.4% (compared with 44.5% district and 44.0% state). Among nearby Pocatello District elementary schools, Tyhee ranks last at the 22nd percentile — behind Chubbuck Elementary School (65th percentile), Syringa Elementary School (45th percentile), and Edahow Elementary School (99th percentile). This gap is especially striking because Chubbuck Elementary School, just 1.66 miles away with a similar poverty rate and class size, posts proficiency rates roughly 15 points higher in math and ELA. Data suggest demographic factors alone do not explain Tyhee's results.

Tyhee also operates with the highest student-to-teacher ratio (21.7:1) among nearby district schools and per-pupil spending of $6,605 — below nearly all comparable peers. One notable bright spot: chronic absenteeism is just 11.2%, better than the district's 17.9% and the state's 13.8%, meaning students are showing up to school. The most urgent priorities for Tyhee should be improving ELA proficiency, which has been persistently low for several years, and stabilizing math results across grade levels. Nearby schools like Edahow Elementary School and Chubbuck Elementary School prove that much higher outcomes are possible within the same district, making Tyhee's current 1-star status a question of opportunity and support rather than student potential.
