The first teacher came to Coke in 1892. It then had a school in the 1930s, which was still in operation in 1960 and 1988. [3] Today, the community is served by the Quitman Independent School District.

In 1965, the school had only 19 students total in all eight grades. The school was universally referred to as the Coke School, however it was actually named Lloyd Common School, and it consolidated with the Quitman Independent School District and ceased operation at the end of the 64-65 school year.

In 1988, the school building was still there and community and private events were held there. The school building was sold in 2020 to a private party.

The Coke/Pleasant Grove Volunteer Fire Department was located at the school until 2018-2019. The Coke store was torn down in 2017 and a new building for the VFD was built at that location.
