Analysis of Pike County High School reveals several areas of concern. The school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (60.85%) compared to the state average, as well as a lower percentage of White students (25.76%). Over the past 10 years, Pike County High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Alabama high schools, with a rating of 1-3 stars out of 5 from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores in Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts are consistently lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 11th-grade proficiency rates were 16.13% in Mathematics, 25.81% in Science, and 17.2% in English, compared to the state averages of 23.12%, 34.76%, and 28.09%, respectively. Additionally, Pike County High School has a very high percentage of students (over 83%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing Pike County High School to nearby schools, it becomes evident that the school is underperforming. Goshen High School, which is in the same district, has a higher overall ranking and better test scores, while George W. Long High School, which is in the Dale County district, significantly outperforms Pike County High School across all academic measures. To improve the educational outcomes for its students, Pike County High School should consider implementing targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and strategies to address the unique needs of its diverse student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
