Summary:

Schools in zip code 39666 (Summit, MS) serve grades K-12 across five public schools split between two districts: North Pike Schools (four schools) and McComb School District (one school). The strongest overall performer in the area is North Pike Upper Elementary School, which beat state proficiency rates in 4 of 5 tested subjects and has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (18.6%) in the zip code. North Pike Elementary School is the largest school with 781 students and has remained in the 50th–60th percentile on state rankings, though its 2025-26 scores slipped after a strong prior year. Summit Elementary School stands out as a relative overachiever despite being in a 1-star district and having a 100% free/reduced lunch rate; it beat its district average in most tests and improved its state rank to the 38th percentile.

The biggest area of concern is North Pike High School, whose state rank has steadily declined from the 64th to the 49th percentile over three years. Its graduation rate (86.4%) is below the state average (89.2%), and it has the highest chronic absenteeism rate in the zip code at 26.0%. Chronic absenteeism rises sharply with grade level: lower elementary schools are below the state average, but North Pike Junior High (25.9%) and the high school both exceed it. North Pike Junior High made a dramatic one-year leap from the 41st to the 62nd percentile, with big gains in 8th grade math, science, and ELA, but 7th grade scores fell, suggesting significant year-to-year cohort effects.

District ratings do not always match individual school performance. Summit Elementary ranks above its district’s overall percentile, while North Pike High School ranks below its district. All schools with reported data are high-poverty, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 69.1% to 100%. Student-teacher ratios are favorable, between 12.9:1 and 16.1:1. Overall, this is a high-poverty corridor with bright spots at North Pike Upper Elementary and Summit Elementary, while the high school needs attention for attendance, graduation, and its declining state rank.
