Pioneer is a school where they push you to your hardest so that you can reach your goals. You are worked very hard, but all the work pays off. It helps you prepare for college and they offer support for everything. It is such a great school !

bad food, bad administration, bad heating, bad clubs, bad events, bad culture, pretty much bad everything. the pioneer charter network may seem promising, but in reality, it is one of the most underfunded and incompetent charter networks in the state.

Im a graduate of 2020 been there since seventh grade. through out those years was influence by many great teachers. They all had something and unique about them. The main thing I remember is that they always wanted you to do your best. They all believed that your are here to better yourself. The comunication with the parents was key on keeping you on the right track. The staff was what makes pcss function properly. Even though some stay other continue elsewhere the school never loses its love for the students. I will always remember being a part of that unity. Definetly will miss it.
