Summary:
The city of Pittsburg, Oklahoma has 2 public schools - 1 elementary school and 1 high school. Based on the available data, the schools in this district are underperforming compared to other schools in the state. Both the Pittsburg Elementary School and Pittsburg High School have relatively low rankings within Oklahoma, with the elementary school ranked 818 out of 957 and the high school ranked 327 out of 431.
The schools serve economically disadvantaged student populations, with over 88% of students at the elementary school and over 96% at the high school qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the high per-student spending, especially at the elementary level ($12,180 per student), the academic performance of the schools is concerning. The high school's 11th grade proficiency rates are very low, with only 30% proficient or better in ELA and 0% in Math in the 2023-2024 school year. The high school's 80.1% four-year graduation rate is also below the state average.
Overall, the data suggests the Pittsburg school district is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The low rankings, high poverty rates, and poor academic performance metrics indicate a need for a comprehensive review and improvement plan to address the systemic issues facing these schools.
