GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Although every high school experience is different, my overall experience is a mixture of both good and not so good. The school facility itself is really nice and it's quite big compared to some other schools. Teachers at Pitt overall are good and want the best for you. The students have a good diversity amongst themselves and have many different perspectives, personalities and backgrounds.

The best parts of Pittsburg High School is the great events they hold and the overall diversity there is across the school. There is many assemblies acknowledging different cultures and customs and I think that is amazing. The worst part of Pittsburg High School is the lack of information given out about clubs and different sports and i think they should market them more and give out fliers so more people are aware about them.

Honestly, this school is very diverse. It is a pretty clean school, but it could be cleaner if the students helped out a little. Most of the teachers I've had, in my two years here so far, are great. They really show that they care. I have a teacher that always complains about the administration; ba...

It's alright, i mean the teachers are nice and everything. everythings clean and neat but the algebra 2 teachers can hardly explain so the students clearly understand the subject. Other than that it's fine.
