Where your child attends school is one of the important decisions parents make. We now live in a world where you have options. Pierz Schools has emerged as one of the best ways to guarantee your child will succeed in reading, succeed in math and experience a level of love and support from dedicated, educated, knowledgeable, and supportive faculty and staff.

Years ago, Pierz Schools had to monitor enrollment in order to keep our class sizes low, ensuring we could provide the best services for each child.  Today, we are at a place where we are able to add more students in all grade levels. Please take advantage of the opportunities on this page to gather more information and make the best decision for your child. 

• We are accepting enrollment applications at every grade level. 
• We are very confident you will feel the positive energy when you walk in the door, whether that's the door of the high school or the elementary.
• We know your child will be cared for by a super teacher, principal, para, cook, bus driver, and all the various people who touch the lives of our students each day.
• PK-12 is all under one roof. Your child can start and end their elementary and high school career in one caring building, affording opportunities during the school day for big kids and little kids to work together (also, one pick up location for all your students)!
  

Our formula of great teachers + great support = successful students is working:

• Pioneer Elementary School is a National Blue Ribbon School (link).  This is the highest Honor our Nation provides to schools, both private and public.  You will not find many anywhere else in the State of Minnesota.  Pioneer Elementary celebrated this success and was featured on Lakeland Television as well.
  
  
• Pierz School District has been named a National Model School for Highly Reliable Schools (link).
  
  
• Pierz Students score higher in Math and Reading (link). Compared to schools in our Region, Pierz averages 20% to 30% higher in many of the Grade Levels on the State MCA Tests. See MCA story from the Morrison County Record Newspaper article.
  
  
• Pioneer Elementary School named Best Elementary Schools by US News and World Report (3 times) (link).
  
• Healy High School named in 2024-25 Great Schools.org (link)

You and your children have an opportunity to be a part of this successful and fun journey!
