North Pike Upper Elementary has a relatively balanced racial composition, with 50.64% White and 46.27% African American students, which is notably different from some nearby schools that have much higher percentages of African American students. The school generally performs better than the state average on MAAP tests, particularly in English Language Arts, with 54.8% of 5th graders and 43.6% of 6th graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 51.9% and 40.3%, respectively. However, the school's math scores are lower than the state averages. Additionally, North Pike Upper Elementary has a very high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Compared to the North Pike Junior High School, the upper elementary school has a slightly different racial makeup and lower test scores, particularly in 8th grade math. In contrast, the nearby Brookhaven School District and South Pike School District have lower-performing middle schools compared to North Pike Upper Elementary, suggesting that it may be a relatively stronger-performing school in the region. However, the high poverty levels in the area likely impact the school's resources and student performance, and continued efforts to support students and address areas of academic weakness, particularly in mathematics, could help the school and district improve outcomes.

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.
