Hacker class doesn’t usually tell new people what they do before they barge in. The pilot is no different.

next year is going to be my school's first year of offering ib, and my graduating class is the first class that will be able to try for the diploma. ib appeals to me over ap for a lot of reasons, but people keep warning me against doing ib because 'it's the pilot class, teachers don't know what they're doing, etc.' thoughts on this?

Pilot classes are a very difficult subject. On the one hand the teachers are as new to this as you, so there might will be some trip ups, mistakes, miscommunication. It won’t be easy and it won’t be smooth. 

On the other hand, the teachers will never EVER forget you. Honestly my teachers were always comparing us to the first class. They would tell us stories about the first class - over 15 years before us.  They were always remembered as having had to work the hardest for everything, but they were really well respected for it.

If the concept of the program appeals to you, than I definitely recommend you go for it.  Just don’t go in blind. Be aware of the difficulties. You also might want to think about setting up a plan B.  If the teachers don’t know how to handle IB and are as excited about it as you are, it will be very difficult to be successful.  My sister tried a pilot program for AICE at a local school, and the teachers didn’t know how to teach the classes and didn’t care. It was a mess. I had to explain to a math teacher what a mark scheme was. Luckily she was able to get into a different program, but from her experiences, I’d advise only go into a pilot program if you can have a backup plan in place.
