Summary:
The Pittsburg Independent School District (Isd) in Texas serves approximately 2,245 students across five schools—two elementary, two middle, and one high school—and has earned a 4-star district rating (76th percentile statewide) despite a high rate of economic disadvantage, with over 73% of students receiving free or reduced lunch.
Among the schools, Pittsburg J H stands out as the district's academic powerhouse, achieving a 4-star rating for three consecutive years and a perfect 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I STAAR exam—46 points above the state average. In contrast, Pittsburg Elementary shows volatile performance, swinging from a 4-star to a 3-star rating recently, with 3rd-grade math proficiency dropping sharply from 76.67% to 41.56%. Pittsburg High School is a resilient improver, rebounding to a 3-star rating with a 98% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate, while Pittsburg Intermediate excels in 5th-grade math and reading, outperforming state averages by over 20 points. Pittsburg Pri (serving PK-1st grade) has no test score data, creating a blind spot for early learning assessment.
Key metrics show a district-wide strength in math, with every grade from 4th to 8th exceeding state averages in 2025-2026, notably 8th-grade math at 76.99% (state: 47.24%). The Algebra I pipeline from middle to high school is a major success, with high school Algebra I proficiency at 63.36% (state: 54.03%). However, areas for improvement include 8th-grade social studies and U.S. History, which slightly trail state averages. The district's average student-teacher ratio is 12.1:1, and spending per student averages $10,281, with Pittsburg High School spending the most at $12,365 per student.
