==Mini Schools==
Pershing School students attend one of three themed mini-schools, each led by an assistant principal, dean, and guidance counselor. However, while each mini-school's students are encouraged to think of themselves as a separate body, administrators say that, overall, their goal is to foster a sense of community within the school at large.<ref name="insideschools.org"/>

*Mini School 1- Health and Biomedical Sciences - medical professionals give tours of the facilities at Maimonides and mentor a small group of students on careers in the health sciences.

*Mini School 2 - Math and Architecture, students in an art-focused class, with the help of an architect from Maimonides, created blueprints for children's hospitals. Completed models of their designs were exhibited in hallways and in the art classroom.

*Mini School 3, Academy of Environmental Science, was created to introduce students to different "green" professions. Professionals from the Brooklyn-based Center for the Urban Environment work with teachers to develop lesson plans

John J. Pershing Intermediate School 220, is a public middle school located at 4812 Ninth Avenue in the Sunset Park neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City. It was founded in the 1970s, and was named after World War I general John J. Pershing.

IS 220 is a magnet school for science-oriented education. It is divided into three "mini schools": the Health & Biomedical School, the School for Architecture & Mathematics and the Academy of Environmental Sciences. Top students in the school had been admitted to school such as Stuyvesant High School (only in 2005) The Bronx High School of Science; Brooklyn Technical High School; Midwood High School; and Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School

The school's population is 51% Asian, 42% Hispanic, 6% White and 2% Black. A quarter of the Asian population are new immigrants to the United States.

Superintendent Classes

Teachers in the school are separated by Mini Schools, however teachers who teach Superintendent Classes have only three classes in the grade. For example, a 8th grade Superintendent math teacher will only teach class 810, 820, and 830. Only those in the Superintendent classes, which are also known as the gifted classes, are able to take a foreign language and accelerated courses (Algebra and Living Environment as of June 2011 )
