very good school, nice staff and respectful teachers.

If you’re thinking of sending your child to Pershing Middle School in Houston, don’t.Let me save you time, money, and your child’s sanity: this is the worst middle school experience we’ve ever had, and we only lasted one year. That one year was a masterclass in chaos, incompetence, and disregard for students and parents alike.1. Administrative DisasterThe registration process is your first red flag. Overwhelmed, unorganized, and quick to tell you what “can’t be done” simply because they don’t want to do it. The administration will smile and lie to your face about policies they clearly haven’t read or don’t care to follow. And don’t bother calling, no one answers the phone. Ever.2. Revolving Door LeadershipPrincipals change so often it’s like speed dating, except each one leaves before making any positive impact. This constant turnover creates instability for students, staff, and parents, and makes it impossible to build trust or consistency.3. Dangerous Environment for StudentsThe number of fights is alarming. It feels more like a prison yard than a place of learning, especially for Black and Brown students, who seem to be funneled straight into ISS for even the smallest infractions. The so-called “discipline” here looks more like targeted punishment than actual conflict resolution.4. A Neighborhood School No One in the Neighborhood UsesThe surrounding neighborhood is lovely, but take note: the families who live here avoid Pershing like the plague. They send their children to other schools for a reason.5. Inappropriate Conduct on CampusAs a parent, I learned to deliberately avoid the on-campus police officer after repeated inappropriate comments and harassment. That’s right, parents, not just students, are subject to unprofessional behavior.6. The Year That Broke UsOur single year at Pershing was the worst of my child’s education, and my parenting life. The stress, the instability, the blatant disregard for student welfare… it’s not something I’d wish on any family.If you’re reading this as a parent considering Pershing, here’s your sign: run. Your child deserves a school that values safety, stability, and education over excuses, punishment, and constant turnover.Do not, I repeat, DO NOT, send your child to Pershing Middle School.

This school was great for my preschooler who started at age 3, Prek-3, the teachers- Ms Veasley and Ms Pena were awesome, at 3 my daughter could write her name, knew all the alphabet and their sounds, Count, identify and 1-20, the school and teachers gave her a great head start in learning.
