Pioneer Senior High School had the highest enrollment among Cattaraugus County schools, welcoming 684 students during the 2023-24 academic year, according to the New York State Education Department.

Data also showed that most of the students were white, representing 94.7% of the Pioneer Senior High School's total enrollment.

Among the 28 schools in Cattaraugus County, Olean Senior High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 658 students, while Pioneer Middle School welcomed 649 students and came in third in the 2023-24 school year.

Pioneer Senior High School is part of Yorkshire-Pioneer Central School District, which roughly covers four schools within Cattaraugus County and has a main office in Yorkshire.

In the previous school year, Pioneer Middle School had the highest number of students among Cattaraugus County schools.

In 2022, New York had roughly one teacher for every 12 students, which is lower than the national average of one teacher for every 16 students. A lower student-to-teacher ratio has been found to improve students' school performance.

New York State has proposed a $45.8 billion education budget for the upcoming fiscal year. This represents a $1.5 billion increase compared to the previous year. The most significant portion of this budget is allocated to schools, with a total of $35.3 billion proposed. The new budget aims at increasing funds for Foundation Aid by $507 million, mainly driven by rising inflation in the U.S.
