Summary

Pike County High School is a public high school located in Zebulon, Georgia, serving 1,089 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Pike County School District, which is ranked 40th out of 206 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pike County High School has seen fluctuating graduation rates in recent years, ranging from 84.4% to 95.3% for the 4-year graduation rate, which is generally higher than the state average. However, the school's performance on the Milestones Assessments is mixed, with stronger results in subjects like Biology but lagging behind in others like American Literature and Composition, Algebra I, and United States History. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has increased from 29.32% to 39.76%, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students. The school's spending per student has also increased, from $7,818 to $8,586, and the student-teacher ratio has improved from 17.6 to 15, suggesting the district is investing more resources into the school.

When compared to the nearby Zebulon High School, also in the Pike County School District, Pike County High School performs significantly better on test scores and has a much lower free/reduced lunch rate, indicating it is the stronger of the two schools in the district. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 170th out of 438 Georgia high schools in 2018-2019 to 190th out of 452 in 2024-2025, suggesting it may be struggling to keep pace with improvements at other high schools across the state.
