Summary

Pittsburg J H in Pittsburg, TX, serves 299 students in grades 7 and 8 within the Pittsburg Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out as a consistently high-performing school that excels in mathematics and supports students from all backgrounds effectively.

This school is a true powerhouse in math. In the most recent school year, 77% of 8th graders were proficient in math, far exceeding the state average of 47% and every nearby school—the next closest was Mt Vernon Middle at 51%. Even more impressive, for four straight years, 100% of Pittsburg J H students taking Algebra I have passed the end-of-course exam, a perfect record that outpaces the district average of 68.6% and the state average of 54%. While Harts Bluff Middle (92%) and Mt Vernon Middle (89.7%) also have high pass rates, none match Pittsburg’s consistent perfection. The school is also remarkably effective with its economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 92nd percentile statewide for this group—a standout achievement compared to schools like Mount Pleasant J H, which has similar poverty levels but lower academic results.

However, Pittsburg J H has a clear area for growth: social studies. Only 29.6% of 8th graders were proficient, below the state average of 31.7% and far behind Harmony J H (56.8%). This contrasts with its math strength and suggests a focus for improvement. Overall, the school is a model of stability, with state rankings consistently in the 71st to 82nd percentile over the past decade—unlike Chapel Hill J H, which has seen big swings. With a low student-teacher ratio of 10.1 and efficient spending of $10,289 per student, Pittsburg J H delivers reliable, high-quality education, making it a strong choice for families seeking steady academic success.
