PANOLA ES is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the PANOLA school district, located in Panola, OK with about 71 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 5 teachers, PANOLA ES has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1.
