Pioneer Elementary School

Love this school. We moved to the area 3 years ago and hesitated with sending out daughter here; we were already transporting one kid to Jackson. Glad we decided to keep enroll our daughter here.

Excellent School! Great teachers and very family oriented. The principals and teachers listen to parents and students and embrace change.

Awesome staff and great new principal. This school was a Bronze Award winner in 2012 with the Alliance for a Healthier Generation. Can't say enough about how wonderful my daughters experience was here. Very caring teachers and support staff!

The student/teacher ratio is unmatched, and each child is given the opportunity to flourish in their development of learning and faith.

I attended Pilgrim as a child 20 years ago, and my children now attend. class sizes of 20ish make learning easier for individual attention, but yet a selection of kids to become close friends with. Bulling is NOT tolerated, The teachers all do in-home visits to meet the families at the beginning of the year for all their new students. This is great for the kids to get 1-on-1 time before starting school and the teacher will tell them what to expect, see their rooms, meet their pets, etc. My daughters teacher even went above & beyond, knowing she struggled with Math and set up her to have a private teacher aid tutor for a small group of them who needed additional help to it 3 days a week during math class! 5-8 grades have the kids move rooms to different teachers like in high school. They seem to love it, and even kids across grades become friends through sports, after school or recess. Cafeteria is maintained by a professional caterer, and has the BEST food(like baked Ziti). (Perhaps I am biased, as she also did my wedding!). They offer scholarships to those that need help, and a massive discount for members of church.
