Summary

Pittsburg Elementary in Pittsburg, TX, serves 480 students in grades 2 through 4 within the Pittsburg Independent School District (Isd), a high-performing district ranked in the top 24% of Texas.

This school is a study in contrasts, known for its dramatic year-over-year performance swings. After a low point in the 2022-2023 school year, it staged a remarkable recovery to reach the 87th percentile in 2024-2025, only to decline again to the 60th percentile in the most recent data. This volatility is unique among nearby schools; for example, Annie Sims Elementary in Mount Pleasant ISD has consistently ranked in the 80th-88th percentile for three consecutive years. Despite this inconsistency, Pittsburg Elementary has proven its potential. In its peak year, it ranked in the 96th percentile statewide for serving students from low socio-economic backgrounds, a phenomenal achievement given that over 73% of its students are economically disadvantaged. This shows the school is capable of exceptional results for all its students.

A clear strength is 4th-grade mathematics, where the school's proficiency rate of 59.46% is the highest among all nearby schools with 4th-grade data and well above the state average. In contrast, reading proficiency has been more inconsistent and generally near the state average. The school also operates with notable efficiency, spending $9,512 per student—the lowest in its comparison group—while still achieving a higher overall state ranking than several schools that spend significantly more, such as Harts Bluff Elementary ($11,053) and Vivian Fowler Elementary ($10,290). For parents, this school offers a strong math program and the potential for outstanding overall performance, but its history of volatility means it may be wise to monitor its progress closely.
