Who to call

Principal

Principal Amy Wilken, according to the school’s administration page, which calls her the school’s inaugural principal and says she has nearly two decades in education as a classroom teacher, dean of students, gifted teacher and assistant principal. Brooke Neves is the school’s first assistant principal.

Enrollment

Central Pike is too new for the federal NCES directory, whose latest school list is for 2023-24, and for the state’s 2024-25 school profile file. The school does not publish an enrollment figure on its website.

State report card

Tennessee grades every public school A to F through its School Letter Grades, which the Department of Education says give “a snapshot of how each school in the state is performing, including student achievement and academic growth measures for all schools.” The latest grades, for 2024-25, were released in December 2025, before Central Pike opened, so the school has no grade or test results yet. When it does, they will be on the Tennessee State Report Card.
