Pittsburg School (High) is a Title I public high school that is part of the Pittsburg School District school district, located in Pittsburg, NH with about 29 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 7 teachers, Pittsburg School (High) has a student/teacher ratio of about 4:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The school prides itself on fostering a supportive environment that emphasizes academic growth while maintaining the traditions and values of its unique North Country setting.

Beyond the standard core curriculum, Pittsburg School utilizes its proximity to the natural landscape to offer students a variety of outdoor and experiential learning opportunities. As part of SAU 7, the district works to provide a comprehensive education that prepares students for post-secondary success, whether they intend to pursue higher education or enter the workforce. By integrating modern technology with a focus on community involvement, the school aims to ensure that every student receives a well-rounded education despite the challenges of serving a small, isolated student population.
