Northpoint Academy

Public Grades 6-12

Summary

Northpoint Academy is a public high school in Pikeville, Kentucky, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 72 students. While the school is part of the Pike County School District, which is ranked 47th out of 160 districts in Kentucky, Northpoint Academy itself faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools.

Northpoint Academy has a notably higher percentage of white students, ranging from 98.33% to 100% over the past three school years, which is significantly less diverse than the racial makeup of surrounding schools. Academically, the school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Kentucky high schools, with test scores that are well below the county and state averages. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, only 11% of Northpoint Academy's 11th-grade students were proficient or better in ACT English and Reading, compared to 48% and 40% in the Pike County district, respectively. Additionally, Northpoint Academy has an exceptionally high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 90% to 93.62% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Shelby Valley High School (65.54%) and Pike County Central High School (57.24%).

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.4 to 14.4 over the past three school years, Northpoint Academy has consistently struggled to improve its academic performance. The school's proximity to higher-performing institutions like Pikeville High School has not translated into better outcomes for its students. Addressing the school's challenges in academic achievement, socioeconomic factors, and racial diversity will be crucial for Northpoint Academy to provide a high-quality education to its community.
