Summary

Tyhee Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Pocatello, Idaho, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 568 students. The school is part of the Pocatello District, which is ranked 35 out of 96 districts in Idaho and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tyhee Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates that have fluctuated between 0.3% and 17.4% in recent years, lower-than-average test scores in Math, Science, and English Language Arts compared to the district and state, and a growing population of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced-price lunch rates increasing from 20.15% in 2021-2022 to 42.61% in 2023-2024. The school's student-teacher ratio of 22.7 is also higher than nearby schools, which may impact the level of individual attention and support students receive.

When compared to nearby schools in the Pocatello District, such as Edahow Elementary, which has significantly higher test scores, Tyhee Elementary's performance lags behind. The school's spending per student ($6,605 in 2018-2019) is also lower than its peers, which may contribute to its lower performance. To address these challenges, the school and district may need to focus on strategies to improve attendance, provide targeted academic interventions, and ensure equitable access to resources and support for all students.
