Black Pine Circle is a stellar school and perhaps one of the finest educational establishments in California and the country. We have been parents of two BPC students, one who graduated from 8th grade in 2021 and one who is currently a 6th grader. Middle school is a challenging time but not at BPC. Our sons have been challenged, engaged, and found a love of learning. This is not only a terrific academic middle school but a place of joy.
