Thungprue Pittayakom School, Songkhla Province was founded in 1957. It has 5 school buildings, 2 buildings for teachers to live in, a multipurpose building, and a cafeteria. Additionally, there are 4 temporary buildings provided by the public, 3 toilets and each school building has 2 bathrooms. There are currently 224 students from kindergarten to lower secondary (6-15 years old), and there are a total of 16 teachers along with a janitor.
