Each gap is to the same group, grades and subject: in Pittsburg Unified, and across California. None is green: no group that is behind statewide does 10 or more points better here than the same group statewide.

Asian and military-family students: fewer than 30 tested here. No published rate here for American Indian or Alaska Native and Pacific Islander students and foster youth. That can reflect privacy rules or small numbers; it isn’t evidence of a gap. This table covers groups by income, race or ethnicity, language and disability; girls and boys aren’t split out.

Questions to ask

A short list for your school visit.

  1. Most students in grade 11 haven’t yet met the state’s standards in English and math. What extra help do they get, and how do you know it’s working?
  2. Which courses and career pathways are running this year, and who can enroll?
  3. How do counselors help students plan for college, training or work?
  4. What support is available when a student falls behind on graduation requirements?

Accountability

Who runs this school

Run by Pittsburg Unified. The district writes the yearly plan (LCAP) for its schools. See what Pittsburg Unified plans.

State support

Common questions

Is Pittsburg Senior High a good high school?
Pittsburg Senior High is in the 13th percentile (Needs Support) of California’s regular public and charter high schools. Its Scope Score is 43 of 100: it places the school among them; it isn’t a grade. In 2024–25, 88% of the class graduated in four years (737 of 841); across California, 89%. The 2025 Scope Score combines 7 dimensions for high schools: graduation rate, exceeded standard, college/career readiness, met or exceeded the standard, chronic absenteeism, suspension rate, and ELPAC English Learner proficiency. See the current formula and weights. Data source: California Department of Education four-year adjusted cohort graduation rate (ACGR), 2024–25, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are Pittsburg Senior High's CAASPP test scores?
In spring 2026, 36% of students tested in grade 11 met or exceeded the English standard and 25% the math standard; 11% and 13% exceeded it. For the same grades, California's rate was 57% and 32% met or exceeded, 27% and 16% exceeded. 771 students were tested in English and 775 in math (CDE CAASPP 2025–26; California's rate combines CDE's statewide grade rows, weighted by students tested, our calculation).
How does Pittsburg Senior High rank in California?
Pittsburg Senior High is in the 13th percentile of 1,500 California comprehensive high schools (Needs Support, 2025). Pittsburg Senior High ranks #1,294 by Scope Score in that comparison pool. The 2025 Scope Score combines 7 dimensions for high schools: graduation rate, exceeded standard, college/career readiness, met or exceeded the standard, chronic absenteeism, suspension rate, and ELPAC English Learner proficiency. See full methodology.
What do attendance and suspension records show for Pittsburg Senior High?
CDE chronic absence 2025–26: 36.8% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 1,335 chronically absent of 3,624 eligible students. CDE suspension 2025–26: 4.1%; 154 unduplicated suspended students of 3,713 cumulative enrollment. These figures cannot establish safety or everyday experience. How the Scope Score is built.
How does Pittsburg Senior High compare to other schools in Pittsburg?
Pittsburg Senior High is in the 13th percentile (Needs Support) of California’s regular public and charter high schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same measures side by side: the share of students who met or exceeded the standard, the share who exceeded it, growth, chronic absence and suspensions. The school serves 3,403 students. Use the schools in Pittsburg page or the map view to compare nearby high schools.
What do reported student-group results show at Pittsburg Senior High?
At Pittsburg Senior High in Pittsburg, 34% of low-income students (CDE’s “socioeconomically disadvantaged” group) in grade 11 scored Proficient or Advanced (formerly Met or Exceeded) in reading and writing in spring 2026, compared with 31% across the district and 49% across California for the same group in the same grades. That is 3 points above the district rate for the same group. Also: low-income students, 24% in math; Hispanic students, 36% in reading and writing. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP, spring 2026. 580 low-income students tested in reading and writing. SchoolScope shows disaggregated test scores by demographic subgroup so you can see how a school performs for your child's specific group — not just the school-wide average. Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.
What AP courses are offered at Pittsburg Senior High?
Pittsburg Senior High had own-school AP authorizations for 7 of the 40 subjects in the College Board's 2025–26 AP program: Calculus BC, Computer Science A, Macroeconomics, Physics 1, Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism, Physics C: Mechanics, Precalculus. The audit records authorization, not whether a section ran that year or how students performed on AP exams. Data source: College Board AP Course Audit, analyzed by SchoolScope.
How many students from Pittsburg Senior High go to UC?
In fall 2025, 45 Pittsburg Senior High graduates enrolled at University of California campuses, universitywide. That figure can't be split into a per-campus sum — students apply to several UC campuses at once, so campus-level counts don't add up to the universitywide total. UC is one destination among many: this says nothing about graduates who chose a CSU, a private college, a community college, or work, and it is a count, not a rate or a ranking. Data source: University of California Office of the President (UC Information Center), fall 2025 admissions cycle.

That cohort includes all students in the current four-year graduation cohort plus only Prepared fifth-year graduates from the prior cohort. In 2025 the pathway accepts two qualifying AP exams, two qualifying AP courses, or a combination of one of each in different subjects.

CDE's overall Prepared rate is this version's 20% high-school college-readiness score factor. The school rate is 332 of 842 CCI students, not the AP-only pathway or A–G completion rate. The California figure is CDE's statewide CCI student cohort, not an average of SchoolScope's comparable high schools or the SchoolScope school-rank pool.

CDE reported all-students (TA) school rates for 2025 and 2026; the change is 2026 minus 2025 in percentage points.

Each year names its school year end (2026 = 2025–26). “Students with scores” is the subject-specific rate denominator; ELA and Math counts must not be added. The 2015–2018 rows were checked against CDE’s original research files. The 2015 and 2016 files report whole percentages; later rows round to one decimal here. Older stored rows from other years still need independent original-file re-verification. A dash is unavailable, not zero. Before spring 2026, Advanced was reported as Exceeded and proficient or advanced as met or exceeded.

Source: UC admissions by source school. Dated fall first-year UC applicants, admitted students, and enrollees. GPA is each group's mean weighted, capped high-school GPA for 10th/11th-grade college-preparatory courses. SchoolScope leaves GPA unavailable when several CEEB codes contribute rather than combining their means. Masked means no numeric bound; — means unavailable, and a reported zero remains zero. For missing or masked counts, never assume zero or a positive hidden value. A + marks a partial SchoolScope sum of observed counts, not a complete total; missing contributions may be zero. No admit rate is computed here. Complete, matching counts can support a historical descriptive rate, but do not establish a school's effect or predict individual chances. Series shown from 2014.

How the California mean was selected

SchoolScope starts with its selected California finance records, not every NCES California district. For FY 2020–21, it calculates an unweighted mean of NCES F-33 current expense per pupil. District records contribute once, regardless of enrollment. The calculation keeps records with positive per-pupil current expense, enrollment over 100, CCD agency type 1, and a recorded district name; it excludes names ending in County Office of Education, Department of Education, or Superintendent of Schools. This is a SchoolScope calculation, not a state-published spending average.

Selected General Fund operating costs · FY 2024–25 · SchoolScope calculation
Instruction 62%Instruction support 12%Student services 9%Administration 5%Buildings & maintenance 11%Other 1%

SchoolScope groups district-level CDE SACS UserGL actuals from Fund 01, using operating objects 1000–5999 and excluding retiree benefits, food and community services, facilities acquisition, other outgo, and nonagency goals. These shares use that filtered total; they do not exactly break down CDE's official current expense per ADA above. The school-level ESSA figure uses a separate source.
