GreatSchools Rating
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.

You learn a lot and have fun and get to do fun things while you learn. We have a bunch of fun during home coming and other special things.

As a smaller school, Pocahontas Area High School was unable to provide the types of things bigger schools can. Like, for instance, we are very big on sports, but our academic clubs are lacking. I feel it would be much more effective and helpful to students if Pocahontas were to provide more opportunities such as a school newspaper or a business club. It would be very helpful for students if they are interested in something, but aren't sure.

What I liked most about my time at Pocahontas was all of the extracurricular activities that I was able to be a part of. I also like the teachers and variety of classes offered. Being in a small school also made it easy to get to know everyone. It would be nice to see an improvement in overall communication from administration on down.

I am so lucky to work at a school where the faculty does a great job at working together to do what is best for our students. The technology is state of the art and the buildings are in TOP shape for a learning environment!
