Pittsford CSD Maintains Strong Financial Stability with Aa1 Credit Rating

Fiscal responsibility and stability are top priorities for Pittsford Central School District, reflecting its ongoing commitment to Pittsford taxpayers. The District’s strong financial management was again recognized with an Aa1 credit rating from Moody’s Investors Service, a rating Pittsford CSD has proudly maintained for 25 consecutive years. 

The Aa1 rating is the second-highest rating a school district can achieve and demonstrates Pittsford Schools’ strong financial operations, supported by conservative budgeting practices. Similar to a personal credit score, this rating reflects the District’s financial health and stability. It also allows Pittsford Schools to secure favorable borrowing terms, including lower interest rates, when voters approve debt for potential capital projects.

Highlights from Moody’s February 2026 credit analysis include:

• Very strong credit position: Pittsford Schools’ Aa1 rating is above the median for U.S. school districts.
• Key credit strengths: A strong local economy, a healthy reserve position and very modest fixed costs contributed to the rating. 

This recognition underscores the District’s commitment to prudent financial management while continuing to provide quality education to the Pittsford community.
