Summary

North Pike Junior High in Summit, MS serves 350 students in grades 7–8 within the North Pike Schools district, and posted a strong 2025-2026 statewide rank of 98 out of 260 middle schools — up significantly from 157th the year before and its best showing since 2017-2018.

In head-to-head comparisons with nearby junior highs serving the same grade span, North Pike outscored South Pike Junior High and Denman Junior High in every subject. For example, 58.7% of North Pike 8th graders were proficient in math versus 33.0% at South Pike and 47.6% at Denman, and in 8th grade science North Pike hit 60.2% compared to 34.0% and 51.0% respectively. The school also beat the state average in 8th grade ELA, math, and science. A lower rate of economic disadvantage (69% free/reduced-price lunch versus 100% at both peer schools) and a more favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.9 likely contribute to these results.

There are a couple of watch items for parents. Chronic absenteeism has climbed to 25.9%, above the state average, and the current 7th grade cohort scored below state averages in ELA and math, suggesting a possible transition dip from the district's strong upper elementary school. Still, the 8th graders made remarkable one-year gains, and the school clearly added value from 7th to 8th grade. North Pike is the leading 7–8 junior high in its area, and with attention to attendance and supporting incoming 7th graders, it is well positioned to keep improving.
