POCATELLO COMMUNITY CHARTER

POCATELLO COMMUNITY CHARTER is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the THE POCATELLO COMMUNITY CHARTER SCHOOL INC. school district, located in POCATELLO, ID with about 334 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 16 teachers, POCATELLO COMMUNITY CHARTER has a student/teacher ratio of about 20:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

POCATELLO COMMUNITY CHARTER School (PCCS) is a tuition-free public charter school serving students from kindergarten through eighth grade. Founded on the principle of providing a unique alternative to traditional public education, the school emphasizes a hands-on, expeditionary learning model. PCCS is known for its small class sizes and a close-knit school community, which are designed to foster strong relationships between students, teachers, and families.

The school’s curriculum is deeply rooted in the "Expeditionary Learning" philosophy, which prioritizes project-based instruction, character development, and real-world application. Rather than relying solely on traditional testing, students engage in long-term, interdisciplinary projects that encourage critical thinking and community involvement. Located in the heart of Pocatello, Idaho, the school places a strong emphasis on service learning and outdoor education, aiming to cultivate well-rounded students who are prepared to contribute positively to their local community and beyond.
