There is only one middle school located in Pittsburg, Kansas - Pittsburg Middle School. Serving grades 6-8, this school has 720 students and a student-teacher ratio of 15.2, slightly higher than the state average. While the school has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, its statewide ranking has fluctuated between 149th and 163rd out of 362-368 Kansas middle schools in recent years, indicating it is performing around the middle of the pack in the state.

Academically, Pittsburg Middle School's performance on state assessments is generally below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. This is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 67.08% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which may be impacting the school's academic outcomes.

Despite these challenges, the school's per-student spending of $8,368 is below the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is slightly higher than the state average. These factors may be contributing to the school's relatively average performance compared to other middle schools in Pittsburg. Addressing the academic performance gaps and the socioeconomic factors could be key areas of focus for improvement at Pittsburg Middle School.
