As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Okay everyone who thinks Pershing is bad, Pershing is not made for the weak we fight for our pride and you people who call Pershing "torture" need to become stronger you need to understand PERSHING IS NOT FOR THE WEAK ONLY THE STRONG WHICH MAKE US BETTER. I love Pershing and I will always they are friends and different types of groups are the largest school in Texas and you have the audacity to tell me you didn't have any friends in your first year?!? Pershing Middle School is a A National School to Watch a magnet fine arts school. Pershing also has grade level, Pre-AP, and Vanguard classes that meet all needs of students. Pershing was zone champions in every single sport. Pershing is a diverse school, with many opportunitys.

I finally graduated from the nightmare of a school called Pershing. After 3 years, I'd just love to vent off only a FEW of Pershing's problems. Only a few....

If you start off at Pershing not knowing anyone, expect yourself not to have a single friend until the end of your 7th grade year. That's how it went for not only me, but many others.

I was a student at Pershing MS from 2008-11, and every moment was torture. The hallways are over-crowded, and the school just flat-out has too many students. This leads to over-crowed classes, where I can guarantee, that you won't learn a single thing. From science, to math, to reading, and history, it will all be a fourth-grade elementary review. Even the high school credit classes won't teach you anything more than a fifth-grade TAKS review. From my 3 years of experience there, I forgot more than I learned.

If you think that the electives, or other classes have a chance of outweighing the bad, then you're riding on false hopes. The GYM classes teach you how to over-exert yourself into getting heart attacks, with army-like whistle drills. The coaches will see to it that you will be hurt, physically and emotionally.

Nearly every teacher is incapable of their job. They would rather play solitaire, than teach the needed materials. I can tell you, that out of 29 different teachers I had, and 10 others I met during my time there, only 7, SEVEN, knew how to be a real teacher...

In the end, my friends and I (The three of us applied to Debakey High School) struggled on the entrance exams, and on those exams, were the subjects that Pershing SHOULD HAVE TAUGHT US FROM THE START.

So, please, students and parents---Avoid this school. At. All. Costs.

As a side note:
If you had the same problem as me, and were forced to attend Pershing, hope that you get Mrs. Johnson (6th grade History) Mrs. Bennett (Elective English) or Mrs. Shufelt (8th grade History)I just had to give a shout-out to the teachers that made Pershing slightly bearable. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
