Best Public Schools in Zip Code 83201

Summary:

The 83201 zip code area of Pocatello, Idaho is home to 13 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools, with standout institutions like Edahow Elementary School and Franklin Middle School leading the way, while others like New Horizon High School face significant challenges.

The top-performing schools, such as Edahow Elementary and Gate City Elementary, boast exceptional test scores, far exceeding the district and state averages. These schools have a strong track record of academic achievement, with Edahow ranking 4th out of 301 Idaho elementary schools and Gate City ranking 64th. In contrast, the alternative high school, New Horizon, struggles with lower test scores and graduation rates compared to the traditional Highland High School.

The data also reveals a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with schools serving a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Lewis & Clark Elementary and Hawthorne Middle School, tending to have lower test scores. Additionally, chronic absenteeism is a significant concern, particularly in the middle schools, which could be a contributing factor to the academic challenges faced by some schools in the Pocatello District.
