Summary:
The city of Pikeville, Kentucky is home to 11 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 6 high schools, and no middle schools or alternative schools. The schools are part of the Pike County School District, except for Pikeville Elementary School and Pikeville High School, which are part of the Pikeville Independent School District.
The data reveals a stark contrast in school performance within the Pikeville area. Valley Elementary School and Pikeville Elementary School are among the top-performing schools in the state, with exceptional test scores and rankings. In contrast, other schools, such as Northpoint Academy and Pike County Day Treatment, struggle with much lower test scores and rankings.
The data suggests that socioeconomic factors, such as the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to the performance gap. Additionally, the significant difference in spending per student between the top-performing schools and lower-performing schools indicates potential funding disparities. The schools with the best student-teacher ratios, such as Pikeville High School and Pikeville Elementary School, tend to be the higher-performing institutions, suggesting that smaller class sizes may also play a role in academic success.
