High Schools in Pittsburg

The Pittsburg High School is the sole high school serving the Pittsburg area in Oklahoma. With a small student population of just 59 students, the school has faced significant challenges in recent years, including a decline in its statewide ranking and performance on state assessments that fall well below the state average.

Pittsburg High School's academic struggles are evident across multiple metrics. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 17% of 11th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 37%. In math, the proficiency rate was just 7%, far below the 18% state average. The school's four-year graduation rate of 82.2% in 2023-2024 also falls short of the state average. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0% in 2024-2025 is higher than the state's average.

Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's performance, as 96.61% of its students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. The school's small size and higher-than-average student-teacher ratio of 15.7 may also present unique challenges in terms of resources and educational opportunities. Overall, the data suggests that Pittsburg High School requires significant support and intervention to address its academic and operational shortcomings and improve student outcomes.
