At this high school they treated us well and provided us support as well as community resources. There is a diverse community where people are respectful of each other, are willing to learn about cultures and traditions. The students have good sportsmanship as I was in cheerleading and the coaches and teachers worked together to support us

The people on campus are very friendly but the students are not. There need to be better regulations so that everybody is following the same rules

Pioneer High School is unique in that it offers Physics to Freshman, which is quite rare in the district. I was able to get the class out of the way to prioritize other subjects that I was more invested in, but if someone was interested in pursuing a higher education in Physics, AP Physics is offered here. Most of the teachers I've had were nice and understanding. The academic counselors are always willing to help the students. If I had one complaint, it would be the cafeteria food. Admittedly it got worse over the years, but that was probably due to the COVID situation. Overall, I don't regret attending Pioneer because I've had wonderful memories and experiences being here.

The fitness program is absolutely unfair! Unacceptable!

Fantastic school! Amazing teachers, great range of resources for a public school, and sufficient advanced classes. I am a recent alum who is attending a top-20 private university and I am forever indebted to Pioneer High School.
