What people are saying

by a parent
Saturday, January 29, 2011

My family moved to Pike County, Georgia 2 years ago after researching the local school system. My son failed to "achieve" or "progress" at his previous school. The teachers in Pike County have shown sincere concern and provided a unique "team" to monitor my son's progress over the last 2 years with the dedication I have only seen in a private school setting. I commend the teachers and their supporting staff at Pike County Schools for a job well done! Close Quote
