Summary

Pittsburg High School in Pittsburg, TX, serves 671 students in grades 9-12 within the highly-rated Pittsburg Independent School District (Isd), a district that ranks in the top 24% of Texas districts. The school stands out for its exceptional graduation and dropout rates, consistently achieving a graduation rate between 98.0% and 99.4% over the last five years, with a dropout rate of 0.0% in four of those years. This is significantly better than nearby schools like Gilmer High School (89.3% graduation rate, 2.2% dropout rate) and Mt Vernon High School (95.5% graduation rate).

Academically, Pittsburg High School performs above state averages in core subjects like Algebra I (63.4% vs. 54.0%), Biology (72.8% vs. 70.5%), and English I (65.4% vs. 55.4%), though it lags behind in U.S. History (67.6% vs. 70.2%). The school excels in supporting its economically disadvantaged students, with 75% qualifying for free or reduced lunch, yet achieving strong subgroup rankings in the top 24% of the state for both Hispanic and low socio-economic status students. However, it struggles with Special Education students, who rank in the bottom 41% of the state, a sharp decline from the 71st percentile two years prior. Nearby Chapel Hill High School outperforms Pittsburg across all subjects, with 80-88% proficiency rates.

The school’s performance history shows volatility, with rankings fluctuating between the 39th and 76th percentiles over the past decade, but it has rebounded to the 66th percentile in 2025-2026. Pittsburg High School is a "high poverty, high performance" school, effectively using its resources—spending about $12,365 per student, less than Gilmer High School ($15,062) but more than Mount Pleasant High School ($10,550)—to achieve strong outcomes. The stark contrast between its top-tier support for Multi-Racial students (90th percentile) and its challenges with Special Education students highlights an area needing attention, but overall, the school demonstrates a commitment to closing achievement gaps for its diverse student body.
