The Pittsfield School District in New Hampshire contains a single middle school, Pittsfield Middle School, which serves grades 6-8.

In Reading, the school's proficiency rate was 37%, while the state average was 55%. Similarly, in Science, the school's proficiency rate was 26%, compared to the state average of 38%.
