Two of my children have attended Gate City Elementary. They have excellent teachers at every grade level, and the principal is wonderful. The level of academics is some of the best in the district. Because the school district does not offer much in the way of physical education or music and art, the PTA has provided several opportunities for professional artists to come in and teach classes to all grade levels. I would like to see the district make physical education instructors available to each school, as the students only see a p.e. teacher once every two weeks. Overall, Gate City is a fabulous school, and I would recommend it to anyone coming into Pocatello.

Both our children have attended this school. There are some truly caring teachers. But, I would suggest that the school not focus on trying to find a problem with the students (it was suggested our daughter suffered from ADD, funny she has had strait A's for the past 4 semesters!). Work with the parents and listen to their suggestions on how to work with the children. Over all, it is a good school with good people.
The school needs to be updated! This school is in one of the best neighborhoods in Pocatello, however the resources are inadequate and the appearance inside (too deary/dark) and outside (needs a more attractive entrance)need attention. The Principal - 2 Thumbs Up!
