I love this school. The teachers work hard to support students. The new administration is always quick to respond when an issue pops up. I transferred my child to this school because I heard great things and I have not been disappointed. They also have a lot of clubs and extracurriculars students can participate in.

The teachers here however do a really good job of providing support, both emotionally and academically during this tough period. Pershing is a diverse mix of races and socioeconomic status kids that seem to get al...
