The elementary schools in Pike County, Georgia consist of two institutions: Pike County Primary School and Pike County Elementary School. While both schools serve students in the region, the data suggests that Pike County Elementary School is a standout performer, consistently outpacing the state average on standardized tests and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pike County Elementary School's academic success is evident in its students' strong performance on Milestones Assessments.

In Mathematics, an impressive 72.8% of 3rd-grade students achieved proficient or better scores, far exceeding the state's 45.4% average. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.8 may contribute to its ability to provide personalized instruction and support.

In contrast, the data does not provide as much detail on the performance of Pike County Primary School, as it only covers grades PK-2. However, the school does have a slightly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which could indicate a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. While the per-student spending difference between the two schools is relatively small, it will be valuable to understand how each school is addressing the needs of its respective student population and ensuring equitable educational opportunities.
