On December 22, 2010, Pike Road established a municipal school system, [[Pike Road Schools]].{{citation needed|date=July 2022}} On August 13, 2015, the Pike Road Board of Education opened the doors to its first school as part of its own independent school district.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Davis |first=Bethany |date=August 14, 2015 |title=Brand new Pike Road School opens to students |url=https://www.wsfa.com/story/29783978/brand-new-school-in-pike-road-opens-to-students |access-date=March 29, 2024 |website=WSFA.com |language=en}}</ref> This first school, Pike Road School, served kindergarten to 8th-grade students. Overcrowding in the schools was an issue from the onset, as the population growth of the Town out-paced the school board's ability to acquire new school buildings or build their own schools. The district's second school, The Pike Road Historic School was renovated and opened in 2017. Pike Road's third school, [[Pike Road High School]], was established at the [[Georgia Washington Middle School]] Campus (acquired from Montgomery Public Schools) in 2018. The high school has a full varsity athletics program which is a member of the Alabama High School Athletics Association.{{citation needed|date=July 2022}}
