Schools in Zip Code 83202

ZIP code 83202 in Chubbuck/Pocatello, Idaho, is served by 6 schools—4 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school—with a total enrollment of roughly 2,217 students across the Pocatello District, The Academy Inc., and Shoshone-Bannock School.

For families, Connor Academy leads the area academically, with the highest math and ELA proficiency (55.7% and 59.6%) and the lowest chronic absenteeism (5.4%). Chubbuck Elementary is a strong traditional option, posting the top science scores in the ZIP code (53.6% proficient) and solid math and ELA results. Alpine Academy, the only middle school, shines in ELA (57.9%) and has very low chronic absenteeism, though its 6th-grade math lags the state. Rulon M Ellis Elementary remains above state averages but has seen a sharp ranking decline. Tyhee Elementary trails notably in ELA (41.3% proficient). Shoshone-Bannock School serves very high-poverty students (97.6% free/reduced lunch) but has no published test scores.

Across the ZIP code, chronic absenteeism is a clear bright spot—every school with data beats the state average of 13.8%. Average math proficiency is nearly 6 points above the state, while ELA is just below. The biggest concern is Tyhee’s low reading scores, along with Ellis’s recent decline. Connor achieves strong outcomes while spending about $2,400 less per student than Ellis, suggesting factors beyond funding matter. Overall, 83202 offers solid elementary and middle options, but high school data is limited to Shoshone-Bannock, leaving a gap for families evaluating secondary education.
