The 2017 Preliminary STAAR test scores showed increases from last year for Pittsburg ISD and some of the highest in the area. “We either came up or stayed the same in 17 of 22 areas,” said Beth Anne Dunavant, Assistant Superintendent. The STAAR testing covers third grade through high school. The chart shows the increase in the high school scores from the previous year, as compared to Region 8 and the State of Texas averages. The final results for Pittsburg will be posted by the state in August.
