Pike County

The Pike County school district in Kentucky consists of 20 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 7 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools, with significant disparities in student outcomes across the district.

Among the standout schools are Valley Elementary School, which consistently ranks as one of the top elementary schools in the state, and Shelby Valley High School, a 5-star high school with strong performance on assessments. Phelps Elementary School also stands out, with a 4-star rating and high proficiency rates in math and reading. However, other schools in the district struggle with low proficiency, particularly in math and science, suggesting a need to address equity and ensure all students have access to high-quality education.

The data also reveals significant variation in resources across the district, with per-student spending ranging from $12,291 at Mullins Elementary to $17,908 at Kimper Elementary, and student-teacher ratios varying from 11:1 at Kimper Elementary to 45.5:1 at Pike County Virtual Academy. This uneven distribution of resources likely contributes to the disparities in student performance observed across the district.
