[edit] General information
It enrolls approximately 420 students in grades pre-kindergarten through ninth. The school is divided into three sections: lower school (pre-kindergarten through second grade), middle school (third grade through fifth grade), and upper school (sixth grade through ninth grade). The average class size in upper school is 15 students. Pike is considered to be a "feeder school" for Phillips Academy, as many Pike graduates attend Phillips, as well as other nearby preparatory schools. Also the Pike School motto - "non sibi solum" is thought to some to be a slight modification of Phillips Academy's motto - "non sibi" This connection links Pike to Phillips.
