I my kid attend Pioneer and have never been treated unfailly. If you want things to change you must be involved as a parent. Thinks only change when you are involved with your students and the school activities. Tired of hearing how bad Pioneer. I am very proud to say I went to Pioneer and now my kid attend, which are Honors kid. So get involved and not put down the school.

This school really needs to work on treating everyone the same,especially those that have come from a different city,state or country. And especially those who seem to stick out from the crowd. And I say this school should be taken down ! It is that absolutely terrible!
