Northpoint Academy

Summary:

Northpoint Academy is a public high school in Pikeville, Kentucky, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 72 students. While the school is part of the Pike County School District, which is ranked 47th out of 160 districts in Kentucky, Northpoint Academy itself faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools.

Northpoint Academy has a notably higher percentage of white students, ranging from 98.33% to 100% over the past three school years, which is significantly less diverse than the racial makeup of surrounding schools. Academically, the school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Kentucky high schools, with test scores that are well below the county and state averages. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, only 11% of Northpoint Academy's 11th-grade students were proficient or better in ACT English and Reading, compared to 48% and 40% in the Pike County district, respectively. Additionally, Northpoint Academy has an exceptionally high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 90% to 93.62% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Shelby Valley High School (65.54%) and Pike County Central High School (57.24%).

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.4 to 14.4 over the past three school years, Northpoint Academy has consistently struggled to improve its academic performance. The school's proximity to higher-performing institutions like Pikeville High School has not translated into better outcomes for its students. Addressing the school's challenges in academic achievement, socioeconomic factors, and racial diversity will be crucial for Northpoint Academy to provide a high-quality education to its community.

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.
