Poca is an Amazing school. Though, the school is underfunded. Poca does not have programs available to highschool students that are much need to be prepared for college. Teachers will always offer to help, yet, so of the teachers are great at well... teaching. I have only had this problem with one teacher. yet, this one experience was enough to make me hate geometry. If you want your kid to have a great support system, this school is great. It's almost like a family. Though, they are many better options for student education in West Virginia. The teachers are great the funding is not.
