My best experience here would be making friends and communicating to create bonds with my classmates. The worst part of my experience would have to be them having to lock down the bathrooms because some people were breaking rules.

But I disliked how bad the faculty was; we would have broken ceilings that would leak and broken sinks in the bathroom.

My son graduated from Pike after starting out at a private Christian high school. He excelled there and enjoyed taking Latin and being part of the drama department. He also enjoyed the orchestra.

A predominately black school with kids with some sense… a lot of kids have the means here they just play too much because they have spoiled parents. A realistic view of the world coming from a person that had private school roots.
