I attended Pioneer Academy for 4 years. First year was very difficult for me but with the support of my school mates, teachers and the administration I was able to push through. Pioneer shaped me into being who I am today and prepared me for the long journey of life ahead. I could not be more grateful.

Pioneer academy is a great school and offers many oppertunities for students of all grades. I personally believe that high school of Pioneer Academy is better than the other grades but that is just my perspective. The teachers are great and I love all of them. I think that Pioneer Academy offers many keys for many futures that students unlock and enjoy. From my experience in Pioneer Academy I think the school is under valued because they make all of us great.

Overall high achieving academic school, but lacks a social life. Very competitive, could be a bad or good factor to look for.
