State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond today (3/25) announced that 336 elementary schools have been selected for the prestigious 2025 California Distinguished Schools Program
The exceptional elementary schools recognized this year are illustrative of the persistence and promise of California’s students, educators, and schools. To select California Distinguished Schools, the California Department of Education (CDE) uses multiple measures to identify eligible schools based on their performance on the state indicators as specified on the California School Dashboard (Dashboard).
Specifically, schools were selected by analyzing data reported through the 2024 Dashboard, with a focus on demonstrating excellence and growth in academic achievement and ensuring a positive school climate.
While we have all known for years that Pioneer is an exceptional school, this award recognizes and celebrates the hard work and dedication of the entire staff! We should all be proud of their accomplishments!
Good Job Pioneer!!! Much respect from all of us!
~ Mike Weber, Superintendent
