Pocomoke High School is an amazing school to attend for academics. There are certain sport teams we do not have, such as a girls' soccer team. Academically, there is a lot of variety in classes. One improvement I'd like to see for future students is the school offering the ACT test.

Pocomoke High is such a great school to go to! All of the teachers genuinely care about the kids they will go out of their way to help kids! Most kids are able to find the teacher that they know they are able to talk to which is huge for kids! Coming from a student there the principal is a genuine woman who cares a lot about all of the kids!! I would recommend:)
