GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I believe that Pike does offer a lot of options for students. We have many AP classes, the different languages offered, the IB program, and a separate academy that helps students who want to graduate early or fall behind.

Have been in this school for 3 years so far and it has been great. There is a lot of diversity and I would say that the teachers that I have encountered so far have been uplifting and teach very well. A majority of the teachers have a strong passion for what they teach and you can see. Have also met amazing people that have become my friends which I have this school to thank for.

My son graduated from Pike after starting out at a private Christian high school. He excelled there and enjoyed taking Latin and being part of the drama department. He also enjoyed the orchestra.

A predominately black school with kids with some sense… a lot of kids have the means here they just play too much because they have spoiled parents. A realistic view of the world coming from a person that had private school roots.
