Pike Central Middle School itself is ranked 268 out of 489 Indiana middle schools and also has a 2-star rating.

Pike Central Middle School has a student population of 375 and a student-teacher ratio of 14.1, which is relatively low and can allow for more individualized attention. The school's spending per student is $12,265. Nearly half of the students, 49.87%, qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a significant portion of the student body may face socioeconomic challenges. A notable concern is the chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is often linked to lower academic achievement.

In terms of academic performance, Pike Central Middle School generally performs below Indiana state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency.

Math proficiency also consistently fell below state averages, though 7th graders showed a strong performance in 2024-2025, exceeding both district and state averages. Science proficiency in 6th grade for 2024-2025 was 39.26%, matching the district average but below the state average.
