Tyhee Elementary School

Summary:

Tyhee Elementary School is a public elementary school in Pocatello, Idaho, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 557. The school is part of the Pocatello District, which is ranked 32 out of 77 districts in Idaho and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tyhee Elementary has some unique characteristics that set it apart from other schools in the area. It has a higher percentage of Native American students (18.31%) compared to the state average, and its test scores are generally lower than the Pocatello District and Idaho state averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Math (36%) and English Language Arts (39.8%) were significantly below the district (45.3% and 57.3%) and state (42.2% and 53.3%) averages. Additionally, Tyhee Elementary has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.3% and a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 20.15% to 38.25% over the past few years.

Compared to nearby schools like Edahow Elementary and Rulon M Ellis Elementary, which have significantly higher test scores and statewide rankings, Tyhee Elementary appears to be underperforming. The school's declining performance and 2-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest that addressing the unique challenges faced by the school, such as its high proportion of Native American students and economically disadvantaged families, could be crucial in improving the academic outcomes for its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
