Academically, Pittston City Intrmd Center's performance, as measured by PSSA test scores, is generally below the state average across grades and subjects. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts (ELA) were 47.4% and 41.4%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 41.7% and 48.5%. However, the school's 3rd-grade Math and ELA proficiency rates are higher than the district and state averages, indicating stronger performance in the lower grades. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with African American and Multi-racial students performing better than their White and disabled peers.

Despite an increase in per-student spending, from $14,032 in 2019-2020 to $19,711 in 2022-2023, Pittston City Intrmd Center's academic performance has not shown a corresponding improvement. Compared to nearby schools in the same district, the school generally performs better academically, but when compared to schools in other nearby districts, such as Scranton School District and Wilkes-Barre Area School District, its performance is mixed. Addressing the school's academic challenges and disparities among student subgroups will be crucial for Pittston City Intrmd Center to improve its overall performance.
