Summary

Pike County Middle School in Zebulon, GA, serves 777 students in grades 6-8 and has earned a 4-star rating, placing it in the top third of middle schools statewide. The school has shown remarkable improvement over the past five years, climbing from the 47th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 71st percentile in 2025-2026—a jump of more than 120 positions that reflects sustained, systemic gains rather than a one-year fluke.

The school's standout achievement is its Algebra I End of Course performance, where 97.3% of students scored proficient or above in 2025-2026—nearly double the state average of 48.1%. This isn't a recent fluke either; proficiency has climbed steadily from 50% in 2022-2023 to 90.7% in 2023-2024 before reaching this year's exceptional level. Pike County also outperforms state averages in 8th grade Science (35.6% vs. 29.7%) and Social Studies (50.8% vs. 40.2%), and it beats every nearby school in 6th and 7th grade math. When compared to schools in the Griffin-Spalding County district, the contrast is stark—those schools range from 5.8% to 13.8% proficiency in science, while Pike County achieves 35.6%. The school also spends less per student ($12,806) than most of those peers, suggesting efficient use of resources.

One area for continued focus is chronic absenteeism, which sits at 20.3%—above the state average of 17.7% but down significantly from 26.4% the previous year. The school achieves strong results despite this challenge, which suggests that when students are in class, instruction is highly effective. Female students outperform male students (72nd vs. 67th percentile), and the school's subgroup performance is generally solid. With its upward trajectory, exceptional math pathway, and efficient spending, Pike County Middle School is well-positioned to continue climbing the state rankings.

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
