Pike County Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (70.78%) compared to nearby schools, and its academic performance has been mixed. While the school performs better than the district and state averages in some subject areas and grade levels, it also lags behind in others. For example, in 2023-2024, 62.96% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 42.16%, but in 6th grade Mathematics, only 19.67% were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 31.56%. The school also has a very high percentage of students (over 84%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Compared to nearby schools, Goshen Elementary School and Banks School, both part of the Pike County School District, Pike County Elementary School generally performs better academically, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts. However, the school lags behind the more distant GW Long Elementary School, which is part of the higher-performing Dale County School District. Addressing the school's challenges, including racial achievement gaps and the impact of poverty, will be crucial for improving its overall performance and ensuring that all students have the opportunity to succeed.

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.
