GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Pike County Central High School created a well-rounded environment for all students, from academics to extracurricular activities. As a senior in highschool, I am deeply involved with the music department. I do not think I could find any other school with that level of musicianship.

The best parts is that you have some teachers that really love their students and will go the extra mile to make sure they're happy and aren't behind in school. The worst part is there's some teachers that don't even do the bare minimum. The school is also very dirty.

It is a good school and I have learned a lot from this school but some teachers don't care about the students in this school and let the kids pass classes without even putting effort in.

PCCHS has been a good school for my children. They were very well prepared for college, and they had numerous learning opportunities. They were treated respectfully and has positive experiences as Pike Central students.
