Excellent experience at Pike Road. Our kids came from a private school environment prior to attending. Love that they are being exposed to the "real world" where people don't always look, act or believe the same as us - which was not the case in private school. I feel they will be better prepared for life due to the learning methods and the social interactions they are having.

This is the 3rd school we’ve been to as a military family and it has been the worst. They have no beta club, no national honor societies, very little student engagement outside of athletics. We expected so much more but honestly look into a good MPS school.

As a parent, I’m concerned that this junior high prioritizes athletics and image over academics, especially in the honors program. Despite parents providing clear evidence of teacher incompetence, the administration's solution is always to suggest a parent-teacher conference. It's the administration's responsibility to ensure teachers are doing their jobs effectively—this should not be pushed onto parents.This lack of quality teaching is detrimental to students who depend on honors-level courses to prepare them for future academic challenges. Without competent instruction, students miss out on essential skills and critical thinking development. It raises serious doubts about whether our children are in the right academic environment to grow and succeed. The administration needs to take responsibility and ensure students receive the education they deserve. I would not recommend moving here unless you have a football player or cheerleader with little interest in college readiness.
