Pershing Elementary School consistently performs below the Muskogee and Oklahoma state averages in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels.

The school's performance is particularly low in 3rd grade, where only 6% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 20% in Muskogee and 27% statewide. Additionally, Pershing Elementary School has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.9% to 19.0% in recent years, which are significantly higher than the state average.

While the nearby schools, such as Creek Elementary, Tony Goetz Elementary, and Irving Elementary, also perform below the state averages in academic proficiency, they generally outperform Pershing Elementary School. However, the presence of a high-performing school like Sadler Arts Academy within the same district highlights the potential for improvement and the need to understand and address the unique challenges faced by Pershing Elementary School.
