Summary:
The city of Pittsburg, Texas is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. Overall, the schools in the Pittsburg Independent School District (Isd) demonstrate a mix of strengths and areas for improvement.
The standout schools in Pittsburg are the middle schools, particularly Pittsburg J H, which ranks in the top 425 middle schools in Texas and boasts impressive test scores, a 100% proficiency rate in Algebra I, and a 0.0% dropout rate. The Pittsburg High School also performs well, with a high 99.4% four-year graduation rate and a low 0.1% dropout rate. However, the high school's academic performance, while not poor, is not as strong as the middle schools, suggesting room for improvement at the high school level.
Across the district, the schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 78.37% at Pittsburg High School to 85.59% at Pittsburg Pri. This suggests the district should consider strategies to address these challenges and support student learning. Additionally, the performance of the elementary schools, Pittsburg Elementary and Pittsburg Intermediate, varies significantly, indicating potential differences in curriculum, teaching quality, or other factors that should be further investigated.
