District-Level NCES Analysis
Pittsburg Isd operates 5 public schools serving 2,360 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 elementary, 1 high, 1 combined, 1 middle schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Camp County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,679 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 1202 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 32.5% local, 42.4% state, and 25.1% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 64/100, ranked #290 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 329.4:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 15.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 46.8% Hispanic or Latino, 33.1% White, 14.5% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Pittsburg Pri, with a diversity index of 66.1/100.
Its largest campus is Pittsburg H S, enrolling 671 students (30% of the district's total enrollment).
Pittsburg H S accounts for 28.4% of all Pittsburg Isd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Pittsburg Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Pittsburg Isd school enrollment varies 2.2× across entities
Pittsburg Isd school enrollment ranges from 299 students (lowest) to 671 students (highest), a spread of 372 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Pittsburg Isd has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 73.8% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Eligibility here is approaching the 75% concentration-grant threshold; it does not yet unlock the extra funding tier but sits meaningfully above the baseline 50% majority mark. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Pittsburg Isd student-counselor ratio is 329:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within Pittsburg Isd is typically wider than the Pittsburg Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
Pittsburg Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 15.7% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Pittsburg Isd is typically wider than the Pittsburg Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
