Pittsburg Independent School District

Pittsburg Independent School District is a public school district based in Pittsburg, Texas (USA). In addition to Pittsburg, the district serves the town of Rocky Mound; both are located in Camp County, and the district includes all of that county with the exception of a very small area that lies in the Gilmer Independent School District.[1] Small portions of Upshur and Wood counties are also served by the Pittsburg Independent School District.

The state mandated that the district establish a bilingual program in 1997. This initial program was "early exit". By 2010 the district established a new program.[4]

In 2009, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.[5]
