Middle Schools in Pershing

There is only one middle school located in the Pershing area - Pershing County Middle School. This school serves grades 6-8 and has 148 students enrolled. While the school's spending per student is higher than the state average, its academic performance lags behind, with proficiency rates in mathematics and reading well below the Nevada state averages.

Pershing County Middle School has a diverse student population, with 47.97% White, 34.46% Hispanic, 10.81% two or more races, 4.73% Native American, 1.35% African American, and 0.68% Asian students. However, the school faces significant challenges, with a high percentage (58.11%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This may be a contributing factor to the school's academic struggles.

The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 89th out of 151 Nevada middle schools in 2021-2022 to 116th out of 152 in 2022-2023, with a current ranking of 96th out of 153 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school is not consistently performing at a high level compared to other middle schools in the state. Addressing the academic performance issues and supporting the economically disadvantaged student population will likely be crucial for improving the school's outcomes and providing a high-quality education to the students of Pershing.
