Summary

Pershing School is a public K-8 school in Orlando, FL, serving 1,057 students within the Orange district, and it stands out for its exceptional advanced coursework program and low chronic absenteeism rate of 22.3%—significantly better than the district average of 35.2%.

Pershing’s most impressive feature is its performance in high school-level End-of-Course (EOC) exams, where it far exceeds both district and state averages. For the 2025-2026 school year, 89% of students passed Algebra 1, 100% passed Geometry, and 93% passed Civics, compared to district averages of 63%, 59%, and 75%, respectively. This strength in advanced academics is complemented by strong foundational skills in lower elementary grades, with 3rd-grade ELA and math proficiency rates of 79% and 76%, well above state averages. However, a notable concern is a "middle school slump" in math, where 7th-grade proficiency dropped to 17% in 2023-2024 before rebounding to 62% in 2025-2026—a trend that warrants monitoring. Compared to nearby Blankner K-8, a 4-star school just 1.32 miles away, Pershing lags in overall scores and ranking (63rd percentile vs. 87th percentile), despite similar demographics and a K-8 structure.

Pershing also operates efficiently, spending $11,324 per student—far less than lower-performing neighbors like Conway Elementary ($19,068) and Shenandoah Elementary ($15,643)—while achieving stronger results. Its low economic disadvantage rate (31% free/reduced lunch) is notably lower than nearby schools like Pineloch Elementary (73%) and Dover Shores Elementary (62%). While Pershing matches the high-performing charter Cornerstone Academy Charter in EOC scores, it falls behind in general middle school subjects, suggesting its advanced program is a standout, but its overall curriculum may not be as robust as top-tier options in the area.
