Summary:
The Pike County School Corp in Indiana has one middle school, Pike Central Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 375 students. The school faces some challenges in student achievement, particularly in math and attendance, with test scores generally below state averages.
Pike Central Middle School has a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%, which is higher than the state average. In terms of academic performance, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates match the district average but fall below state averages across all grade levels. In math, the school's proficiency rates are below both the district and state averages, with the 8th grade math proficiency rate being particularly low at 24.11%. Science proficiency at the school is also slightly below the district average.
The school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 49.87% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the district's investment of $12,265 per student and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.1 to 1, the school's academic performance suggests that more targeted interventions and strategies may be needed to improve student outcomes, particularly in the area of math instruction and attendance.
