Pioneer Academy, while small and lacking in certain areas, is a great option for those desiring a school with effective teaching in STEM and ESL. They tackle mathematics with numerous AP courses, constant practice from the SAT or ACT, and intelligent teachers. In addition, by being a native English speaker, I can personally vouch for the swell incoming foreign students every year who learn to speak basic English confidently and proudly by the end of their year. However, its small size, lack of emphasis or desire on having a physical, academic and cultural presence outside the school campus can make it feel isolated, causing it to be a possible turnoff and source of frustration to kids who may look for those types of characteristics in their school.
And so, with all things considered, I would definitely recommend visiting Pioneer Academy.

Pioneer is a closenit community of students who are like family. Everyone knows each other so it isn't hard to become friends with people and continue those friendships. It's a very community-based school to be honest. Other than that, however, the school administration dedicate a lot of their time and effort to make the school a better place for students in terms of education, extracurriculars, and campus community. They have a long way to go before they're able to accomplish that, but they do try and put their effort into everything they do.
