Summary

Pike County Elementary School in Zebulon, GA, serves 768 students in grades 3-5 and has earned a 4-star rating, ranking in the 83rd percentile of Georgia elementary schools. Over the past decade, the school has climbed from the 52nd percentile to its current top-quartile position—a remarkable, steady improvement that shows no signs of slowing.

Academically, Pike County Elementary consistently outperforms state averages by double digits. In the most recent testing cycle, 3rd grade math proficiency hit 67.9% (vs. 48.3% statewide), 4th grade math reached 62.1% (vs. 50.1%), and 5th grade science came in at 60.0% (vs. 44.2%). Science is a particular strength—in 2023-2024, 75% of 5th graders were proficient, nearly double the state average. The school also excels at getting kids to class: chronic absenteeism has dropped from 18.8% to just 10.2% over four years, well below the state average of 17.7%. This improvement likely fuels the academic gains, as attendance is a strong predictor of elementary success. The school supports both female and male students well (85th and 79th percentiles, respectively), though there is room to grow in serving Special Education students.

The contrast with nearby schools is striking. Just 12.5 miles away, Moore Elementary School posts a 15.6% 3rd grade math proficiency rate—a 52-point gap—and a chronic absenteeism rate of 24.7%. Even the strongest Griffin-Spalding school, Crescent Road Elementary, trails Pike County in most subjects. Notably, Pike County achieves these results while spending just $11,989 per student—far less than the $14,492-$16,579 spent by nearby Griffin-Spalding schools—and while serving a moderate-poverty population (42.8% free/reduced lunch). This efficiency, combined with a 13.7:1 student-teacher ratio, makes Pike County a standout example of doing more with less. Note: ELA scores from the latest cycle will be released in December; the most recent available data shows the school above state averages in all grades.
