Washington Elementary School

Washington Elementary School serves 238 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Pocatello, Idaho. It earns a composite score of 9.1 out of 10 — an Exceptional rating — placing it first among all 22 public schools in Pocatello and eleventh among 719 public schools statewide. That puts Washington ahead of 99% of Idaho's public schools, a figure that reflects consistent, broad-based performance rather than strength in one narrow area.

Academic scores reach 8.9 out of 10, showing strong student achievement in core subjects. Growth scores climb even higher at 9.6, meaning students at Washington advance faster than their peers regardless of where they started. That growth signal often tells parents more than raw proficiency numbers: it shows the school is actively moving students forward year over year, not just serving families who arrive already ahead.

At 14.0 students per teacher, class sizes stay small enough for meaningful individual attention. Washington operates as a regular public school, open to any student in its attendance zone. For families weighing elementary options in Pocatello, the data makes a direct case — no other school in the city matches Washington's combination of academic achievement and student growth.
