The city of Pollok, Texas is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Central Elementary, Central J H, and Central High School. These schools, part of the Central Independent School District (Isd), serve a predominantly White student population with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients.
Among the standout schools, Central High School shines with a strong 97.8% four-year graduation rate and low 0.3% dropout rate. The school also performs well on STAAR EOC exams, particularly in U.S. History. In contrast, Central Elementary has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 2,068 out of 4,647 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 3,361 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024.

Across the district, the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 58.44% at Central High School to 68.09% at Central Elementary, suggest that the district may be facing significant socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student performance. Targeted interventions and support programs may be necessary to address these challenges and ensure that all students in Pollok, Texas have access to a high-quality education.
