Summary:

Zip code 39666, serving the Summit, Mississippi area, contains two elementary schools: North Pike Elementary School (grades K–4, 781 students) and Summit Elementary School (grades 1–4, 200 students). Although these schools share the same community, they belong to different districts — North Pike Schools and McComb School District — which creates very different educational contexts for families to consider.

North Pike Elementary School is the clear standout in this zip code. It ranks 169 out of 377 Mississippi elementary schools (55th percentile) with a 3-star rating, compared to Summit Elementary School, which ranks 233 out of 377 (38th percentile) with 2 stars. North Pike also benefits from a stronger district, as North Pike Schools ranks 49th among 134 districts, while McComb School District ranks 96th. In 2025-26, North Pike outperformed Summit in 3rd grade ELA (46.0% vs 42.3%), 3rd grade math (44.7% vs 38.4%), and 4th grade math (56.9% vs 36.5%), while the two schools tied in 4th grade ELA at 50.0%. North Pike also serves a lower-poverty population (70.93% free/reduced lunch vs 100% at Summit) and has lower chronic absenteeism (21.1% vs 24.2%).

At the same time, Summit Elementary School deserves attention for recent progress. It improved its state percentile from 27 to 38 and its star rating from 1 to 2, with gains in three of four tested areas — most notably 4th grade ELA, which jumped from 37.7% to 50.0%, exactly matching North Pike Elementary School. Summit Elementary School's chronic absenteeism of 24.2% is also well below the McComb School District average of 38.6%. However, both schools remain below state proficiency averages in most subjects, and North Pike Elementary School's scores declined noticeably from 2024-25 to 2025-26, particularly in 3rd grade math, which dropped 12.7 points. Both schools have nearly identical student-teacher ratios (15.5 vs 16.1), suggesting that achievement differences are driven more by poverty levels, district resources, and school leadership than class size.
