Pioneer is a safe and supportive environment that continues to help my husband and I raise well educated, respectful and well rounded children. Our 3 children have attended Pioneer for the last 4 years and they look forward to school everyday. The Principal, administrators and the teachers are very approachable and caring; they reach out to us on a regular basis to recommend/offer additional help, growth opportunities, etc. The school has grown tremendously over the last several years; becoming more diverse, expanding their athletic programs and increasing their special classes and club offerings. The focus on growing and supporting the whole student is a key distinguishing factor for us; academics, ethics, mental health, social skills, athletic abilities, artistic opportunities…we have not found another school that comes close and we all look forward to many more years with Pioneer. - The Shafee Family
I am mother of a high schooler in Pioneer. My son has attended Pioneer Academy since he was in 5th grade. We travelled from Europe and I thought he might have some difficulties to adapt and blend in. Thanks to the Pioneer Academy dedicated and Professional Middle School Team he had no struggle at all. Pioneer Academy was able to manage the diversity of the student body and they build and reflect tolerance and respect between students. My son is now in 9th grade and attending Pioneer Academy. When teachers welcome students, everyone in the class welcomes each other. They form a great connection between teachers and students. Pioneer has very strong academics preparing students for their future colleges. My son took Algebra 1 at 8th grade and participated many math and science competition. Overall I appreciate the education Pioneer offering and I thank all Pioneer Academy Staff and Admin but particularly to the Middle school team.
I have been teaching middle school at Pioneer Academy for the past 6 years. When I compare it to my time teaching in public school, I can definitely say that Pioneer is an excellent and preferable learning environment.
The building and its facilities are well-maintained and thoughtfully decorated. The staff and administration are very polite, professional, and responsive. The students and families are kind, caring, and academically-focused.
Students are pushed academically to reach their full protentional, and there is a strong focus on preparing students for standardized testing (NWEA MAP + SATs) and the college application process. From the last testing session, Pioneer scored in the top 10% of all schools in both Math and Reading in every grade from 5th to 12th and scored in top 1% in Math in grades 7 though 12.
I am very happy with my experience at Pioneer. We are always looking for new academically-driven students to join our school community.
