POCOLA MIDDLE SCHOOL

POCOLA MS is a Title I public middle school that is part of the POCOLA school district, located in Pocola, OK with about 177 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade 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 12 teachers, POCOLA MS has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Pocola Middle School, located at 603 East Pryor Avenue in Pocola, Oklahoma, serves as a core component of the Pocola Public Schools district.

The school operates with a commitment to the success of the local community, emphasizing core curriculum standards while promoting a supportive environment for adolescent development.

As part of the broader Pocola school system, the middle school utilizes the district’s official website (www.pocola.k12.ok.us) to maintain communication with families and provide transparency regarding school policies, academic calendars, and extracurricular opportunities.
