Pioneer High School

My son comes here for his football with Pop Warner. It is conveniently located near the mall and Whole Foods. The entrance to the back lot kinda throws me off since the High School is off of a main street but once you get in there, it’s no problem. The high school looks pretty clean. They are pretty strict on the Pop Warner as far as making sure we follow their rules and what not, which is understandable but they could be nicer when they are talking to our coaches. There’s always a lot going on each night we have practice and the kids that are there seem well behaved.

Pioneer High School is located near Orchard Supply (old Mervyns), and is run by the San Jose Unified School District and offers education to students 9 – 12 grade. They have a problem with the pickup, drop off area which shuts down at 7.10am or 8.10am which forces parents to stop and drop children on busy Blossom Hill Rd. I don’t understand why they don’t keep this open at all times (minus one star).
The school offers advanced placement courses in various subjects, including computer science, calculus, physics, literature English language, world history, art and Spanish. They also have classes in engineering, AutoCAD, business, intermezzo orchestra, fine arts and life management skills.
Most of the teachers are passionate, enthusiastic and want to teach, which makes it fulfilling for the students to get ahead. There sports focus is also very good (football, baseball, tennis, swimming, track and gym).
The science classes offered by the school include chemistry, anatomy, biology and zoology. The school also offers various math classes, including algebra, trigonometry, statistic and calculus.
This school will prepare you child for college/​university as long as you get 240 credits.
