Both Bingham and Pioneer Ridge are excellent schools. They both have top notch teachers, great administrators and great students. Bingham has a slight edge only because it is a smaller school and everyone feels closer knit. I felt welcome by both staff and students from my first day. Discapline here is pretty good. The facilities are well maintained and the building looks and feels new. They have smartboards and other classroom technology, although not all the teachers use them.
