The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I am a senior at Poca High School and all I can say is I'm glad I didn't go somewhere else. I am proud to call myself a DOT and everyone else there should be too. The teachers are fantastic at their job and they help us prepare for college by giving us time in class to work on college applications and sign up for scholarships. The teachers also like to double check our essays and everything if you wanted to just to make sure it is all correct and they give you tips for the future. Thank you poca high school.

I feel like our academics aren't that hard and we are actually very behind in lessons. I wish we had more students that cared about life outside of high-school and I wish we had more paper practice for SAT prep.

My experience at Poca High School has been pretty neutral. I like that it is a small school and how tight knit the community is. One of the disadvantages of my school is that there aren't that many college classes and other opportunities.
