History
Montgomery Public Schools gave approval to the separation of the Pike Road district in 2013.[5]
The Pike Road district began educational operations in 2015, with a K-8 school. It was to add one year per grade level.[6] As a result, the overall student body in the Montgomery district had a higher percentage of African Americans as non-African Americans had left the district.[7]
In 2017 the Montgomery district agreed to sell Georgia Washington Middle School to the Pike Road district.[8] The building was sold so the Pike Road district could quickly acquire space to build a senior high.[9] In 2018 the contract of sale was signed.[10] It became Pike Road High School.[11]
