Summary:
The five public schools in zip code 75686, serving Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade within the Pittsburg Independent School District (Isd), serve a community of approximately 2,245 students and have earned the district a 4-star rating, ranking it in the 76th percentile among Texas districts. This performance is notable given that over 73% of students across the schools qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating high economic disadvantage.
Two schools stand out for different reasons. Pittsburg J H is the district's top performer, consistently earning a 4-star rating and achieving a remarkable 100% proficiency rate for 8th graders taking the Algebra I End-of-Course exam, far exceeding state averages. In contrast, Pittsburg High School is a turnaround story, rebounding from a 2-star rating to a 3-star rating with a 98% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate. The district shows a clear strength in mathematics across all levels, with Pittsburg Elementary and Pittsburg J H consistently outperforming state averages in math, while Social Studies at the junior high level remains a challenge, with only 29.63% proficiency.
Resource allocation varies significantly, with Pittsburg High School spending $12,365 per student—43% more than Pittsburg Intermediate at $8,626—and maintaining a lower student-teacher ratio of 10.4:1. The district's overall average student-teacher ratio is 12.1:1, with Pittsburg Pri and Pittsburg Elementary having higher ratios. Despite economic challenges, the district's effective strategies in advanced math and high school interventions have led to strong academic outcomes, making it a compelling choice for families seeking a district that supports student achievement across all grade levels.
