Pikeville Independent


Summary:

The Pikeville Independent school district is home to two exceptional schools that consistently rank among the best in Kentucky - Pikeville Elementary School and Pikeville High School. Both schools have demonstrated sustained excellence, consistently ranking in the top 5% and 2% of Kentucky elementary and high schools respectively over the past 3 years.

Pikeville Elementary School ranks 51st out of 685 Kentucky elementary schools and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its students significantly outperform the state average on KSA test scores across all grade levels and subjects, often by 10-20 percentage points. Pikeville High School ranks 5th out of 290 Kentucky high schools and also has a 5-star rating. Its students outperform the state average on ACT and KSA tests by wide margins, often 20-30 percentage points, and maintain a high 4-year graduation rate of 85.0%.

Both schools benefit from higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios compared to the state average, which appears to translate directly into their superior academic outcomes. However, the relatively low free/reduced lunch rates at these schools suggest they serve a more economically advantaged student population, raising questions about equity and access. Nonetheless, the Pikeville Independent district is home to two exceptional educational institutions that have established a culture of sustained academic excellence.
