Middle Schools in Pershing

Summary:

Pershing, Nevada is home to a single middle school, Pershing County Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently underperformed compared to state averages across core academic subjects, ranking 126 out of 151 Nevada middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pershing County Middle School has seen fluctuating performance over the past few years, ranking as high as 96 out of 153 schools in 2023-2024 (2-star rating) and as low as 116 out of 152 schools in 2022-2023 (1-star rating). The school's academic performance is below state averages in mathematics, reading, and science proficiency, with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.6% for the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 51.95% in 2023-2024, indicating a socioeconomically disadvantaged student population.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $15,334 for the 2021-2022 school year and a student-teacher ratio of 19.2 for the 2023-2024 school year, the academic outcomes at Pershing County Middle School do not seem to reflect this investment, suggesting a need to evaluate the effectiveness of resource allocation and utilization. Targeted interventions and a comprehensive review of the school's educational programs may be necessary to improve the school's performance and outcomes for its students.
