Pittsburg Elementary

Summary:

Pittsburg Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades 2-4 in the Pittsburg Independent School District (ISD) in Pittsburg, Texas, with a student population of 545 that is predominantly Hispanic and White.

While Pittsburg Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, its academic performance has been mixed, with the school outperforming the state average in 3rd grade reading but underperforming in other areas, including 4th grade reading and 3rd and 4th grade math. The school's performance is particularly concerning for African American students and students from low-income families, who rank in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools. In contrast, the school's special education and gifted and talented students perform better, ranking in the top 50% of Texas elementary schools.

Pittsburg Elementary's performance is generally lower than that of nearby schools, such as Harts Bluff Elementary and the schools in the Mount Pleasant ISD. The school's per-student spending has increased in recent years, but its student-teacher ratio has also risen, which may be impacting its ability to provide personalized attention to its students. Despite the school's diverse student population, it appears to be struggling to effectively serve its Hispanic and African American students, who are underperforming compared to their peers at other schools.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
