Summary

North Pike Elementary School is a K-4 school in Summit, MS, serving 781 students — the largest elementary school in its immediate area — and is part of the North Pike Schools district, which ranks 49th out of 134 Mississippi districts. The school currently holds a 3-star rating, ranking 169th out of 377 Mississippi elementary schools (55th percentile), reflecting a partial recovery from a 2-star rating in 2022-2023 when it sat in the 39th percentile. Economically, 70.9% of students receive free/reduced lunch — a high percentage, but the lowest among nearby comparison schools.

North Pike stands out for having the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in its area at 21.1%, below the state average of 23.9% and well below nearby Otken Elementary School at 32.4% and Kennedy Elementary School at 28.0%. On 2025-2026 state assessments, North Pike's scores are mixed but competitive: it exceeds the state average in 4th-grade math (56.9% proficient vs. 51.5% statewide) and outperforms most McComb-area schools, though it trails Topeka-Tilton School in every tested subject. The student-teacher ratio of 15.5:1 is mid-pack among nearby schools.

North Pike was once a standout school, ranking in the 92nd percentile of Mississippi elementary schools in 2013-2014, but it experienced a sharp decline before beginning to recover. Academic performance remains volatile — 4th-grade math proficiency swung from 35.1% in 2022-2023 to 59.2% in 2024-2025 before settling at 56.9%. While North Pike is the strongest school in the immediate Summit/McComb area, the smaller Topeka-Tilton School now leads in test scores across every grade and subject. Given its size, lower poverty rate, and strong attendance, North Pike has the resources and stability to aim higher than its current mid-tier ranking.

What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, March 20, 2025

There are concerns regarding the elementary principal's management, specifically with regards to potential biases in discipline and grading practices based on students' race, sex, religion, national origin, or disability. The school community's atmosphere is marred by allegations of hate, discrimination, and prejudice. Furthermore, the teachers' clique-like behavior may be attributed to their shared upbringing.
