Best Public Schools in Pocola, OK

Summary:

The city of Pocola, Oklahoma is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school: Pocola Elementary School, Pocola High School, and Pocola Middle School. Based on the available data, Pocola Middle School appears to be the standout performer, ranking 46th out of 189 middle schools in the state and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

In contrast, Pocola High School struggles with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts (28.6%) and Mathematics (4.8%) for 11th grade students, as well as a 4-year graduation rate of 80.1% that falls below the state average. Pocola Elementary School also appears to be underperforming, with lower statewide rankings and ratings compared to the middle school.

Across all three schools, there are high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.58% at Pocola High School to 75.73% at Pocola Elementary School.
