Summary:

Zip code 83201 in Pocatello, Idaho is home to 8 elementary schools serving roughly grades K–5 (with Syringa Elementary School also offering pre-kindergarten), enrolling a combined total of about 2,618 students across the Pocatello District, which is ranked 38th out of 101 Idaho districts. The schools vary widely in size, from Tendoy Elementary School at 221 students to Claude A Wilcox Elementary School at 464 students, and the average free/reduced lunch rate across the group is 53.5%, meaning the typical school serves a majority low-income student population.

Edahow Elementary School is the clear academic leader, ranking #2 out of 346 Idaho elementary schools with 5 stars. Its math proficiency of 81.9% and ELA proficiency of 83.9% are roughly double the district and state averages. Gate City Elementary School is also a standout, ranking #54 with 84th percentile and achieving 63.8% math and 73.9% ELA proficiency—despite spending the least per student ($6,556) and having the largest class sizes in the group. On the other end, Tendoy Elementary School shows the steepest decline, falling from a top-50 school in 2022–23 to #263 in 2025–26 (24th percentile), with ELA proficiency of just 46.0% versus the district's 58%. Washington Elementary School lacks recent ranking data, but its 2024–25 4th-grade scores were above district averages in both math and ELA.

A common weakness across the area is English Language Arts—only Edahow Elementary School and Gate City Elementary School exceed the district's 58% ELA proficiency mark. Several schools also show a 5th-grade math slump, including Claude A Wilcox Elementary School (dropping to 31.7%) and Lewis & Clark Elementary School (38.4%). Greenacres Elementary School is the most improved, jumping from rank 210 to 158 with strong gains in both subjects. Notably, there is no clear relationship between spending and outcomes: Tendoy Elementary School spends above average with the smallest classes yet ranks near the bottom, while Gate City Elementary School proves efficiency can coexist with excellence. The two highest-performing schools have the lowest poverty rates, but Edahow Elementary School's success at 43.8% free/reduced lunch shows poverty alone does not determine results.
