My daughter moved to Sea crest in 6 grade now is in 8th grade and loves it. We especially love the diversity of class offerings including band, chorus, technology, drama and art and the small class size. I highly recommend ! Sea Crest school has been a wonderful educational experience for my daughter and she is now well prepared for high school. LP
