Summary:
The 83202 zip code area in Idaho is home to 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, spread across two different school districts - Pocatello District and The Academy Inc. District. The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance, with some schools like Chubbuck Elementary School and Rulon M Ellis Elementary School ranking among the top 100 elementary schools in Idaho, while others like Fort Hall Elementary School struggle academically.
The standout schools in the area are Chubbuck Elementary School and Rulon M Ellis Elementary School, both of which have strong academic performance with over 50% of students proficient or better in math, science, and English language arts across grade levels. Additionally, the Gem Prep: Pocatello School, an alternative charter school, has impressive academic results, with proficiency rates often exceeding the state and district averages and a high 4-year graduation rate of 82.3%.
In contrast, schools with higher free and reduced lunch rates, such as Fort Hall Elementary School and Shoshone-Bannock School, tend to have lower academic performance. The data also suggests that charter schools may be outperforming their traditional public school counterparts in the same area, raising questions about the potential impact of school choice and alternative governance models on student achievement.
