The Pittsburg Unified School District in California is home to 8 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across these schools, with a few standouts leading the way in key metrics like English Language Arts and Math proficiency, as well as lower chronic absenteeism rates.

Foothill Elementary and Heights Elementary emerge as the top performers, with proficiency rates exceeding the district and state averages.
