Summary:
The 21851 zip code area is home to three schools - Pocomoke Middle, Pocomoke Elementary, and Pocomoke High - serving students from elementary through high school. This area faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with all three schools having high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 70.45% to 76.52%.
Pocomoke Elementary stands out as the top performer, with impressive academic results in both Math and English Language Arts, significantly exceeding the county and state averages. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 13:1 may contribute to its strong performance. In contrast, Pocomoke High faces academic challenges, particularly in Math and Algebra I, with proficiency rates well below the county and state levels.
Pocomoke Middle is a consistent top performer, ranking among the best middle schools in Maryland's Worcester County Public Schools district. The school excels in English Language Arts and Algebra I, with exceptional proficiency rates. However, its Math performance, while above the state average, lags behind the county average, suggesting room for improvement in this subject area.
