The ratio π applies to everything: All calculations involving movement that isn't a straight line, which happens to be quite a lot.
π radians is the usual method for expressing angles in trigonometry, as an angle is just going around a circle.
So, yeah. it's useless in 6th grade or whatever, but not in general.

I think Scott covered it in his explaination. Otherwise Pi is just there to compute the circumference of a Circle.
