Summary:

Zip code 83202 (Chubbuck/Pocatello, Idaho) is home to four elementary schools serving 1,818 students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade: Connor Academy, Tyhee Elementary School, Chubbuck Elementary School, and Rulon M Ellis Elementary School. Three of the four belong to the Pocatello District, while Connor Academy operates under The Academy Inc. Overall, this is a moderately performing group: average math proficiency (50.1%) and science proficiency (45.1%) beat the state averages, while average ELA proficiency (52.2%) trails the state's 54.0%.

Connor Academy stands out as the strongest all-around school in the area. It holds the highest state ranking (114th of 346), leads all four schools in math (55.7%) and ELA (59.6%) proficiency, and posts remarkably low chronic absenteeism of just 5.4% — all while spending the least per student ($4,917). Chubbuck Elementary School is the science standout, with 53.6% fifth-grade science proficiency, well above the state's 44.0%, and it also shows solid math results. Rulon M Ellis Elementary School has the most resources — the highest per-student spending ($7,351) and lowest student-teacher ratio (18.5) — but also the highest poverty rate (53.41% free/reduced lunch) and experienced the biggest test-score declines of any school in the group. Tyhee Elementary School is the most challenged: it's the only one-star school, ranks 269th of 346, and has the lowest proficiency in every subject.

Between 2024–25 and 2025–26, Chubbuck Elementary School and Rulon M Ellis Elementary School both lost ground across subjects, while Connor Academy improved in math and ELA. Tyhee Elementary School's biggest concern is ELA, where 41.3% proficiency sits 16.7 points below its district average. On the positive side, all four schools have chronic absenteeism below the state average of 13.8%, and Connor Academy's 5.4% rate is exceptional. For parents, Connor Academy offers the best academic outcomes, Chubbuck is a strong choice for science, Ellis offers smaller classes but is trending downward amid higher poverty, and Tyhee needs the most support.
