Summary:
The city of Summit, Mississippi is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The schools in this area serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and are part of the North Pike School District and the McComb School District.
Among the standout schools in Summit, North Pike Senior High School stands out with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, a relatively high graduation rate of 89.4%, and strong performance on MAAP end-of-course exams, with proficiency rates ranging from 60.9% in Algebra I to 73.6% in U.S. History. Another high-performing school is North Pike Upper Elementary School, which outperforms the state average in several MAAP subject areas, including 57.6% proficiency in 5th grade English Language Arts and 62.1% in 5th grade Science.
However, the data also reveals some concerning trends across the schools in Summit. All schools in the area have a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9%, and 100% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of poverty. Additionally, the student-teacher ratios range from 13 to 17.9 students per teacher, which may suggest challenges in attracting and retaining qualified teachers. The disparities in academic performance between the North Pike School District and the McComb School District, which Summit Elementary is a part of, are particularly noteworthy and warrant further investigation to understand the underlying factors contributing to these differences.
