this is not a good school because your kids will get singled out.

The staff and teachers at Jefferson are exceptional! The office staff is very informative and supportive! The teachers are caring, supportive and have done so much for my students.

Both of my children have attended Poky and had the absolute best high school experience. The teachers always gave extra time if my kids wanted or needed it and always sent the message that my kids were loved. Both my kids graduated with enough college credits to start with 3 semesters of college already completed. Poky offers a large variety of dual enrollment courses where the kid is actually taking a college class while in high school. They have AP classes as well but encourage kids to take the college dual enrollment course over the AP unless they are leaving Idaho for college. The dual enrollment course is not dependent on an end of year high stakes test like the AP classes so kids have a better chance of earning the college credit. Poky has an amazing and welcoming culture where their motto is - Pocatello High School - Where Everybody is Somebody. Century is filled with a bunch of elitists and Highland is so overcrowded, there are nearly 40 kids in a class. If you care about your kid getting an excellent education in a school that teaches them the value of diversity and truly cares for each of its students, you will be very pleased with Pocatello High School. I would recommend it far and above the other two high schools in town.
