GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Generally, I have had a lukewarm good experience at Pacifica High School. The majority of teachers are kind and genuinely want to educate their students. There are many resources available to students such as the wellness center, and tutoring. I would say the least enjoyable moments I have had are because of students and the lack of restrooms open for students, and I would like to see that change.

Pacifica is a very well school in academics and sports. I hope to see change in school spirit, not much of that, and i'd like to see academics being favored more over sports like how it is now. I personally have a great time, very social school and the best parts are my lifelong friends I grew with and spent all 4 years with, along with the teachers who have cared for me. The worst parts was definitely the negative energy between students but it can always be solved with the help of teachers who care.

There is no support at school. The teachers here are horrible. I was left to abuse, harass, and bullied. I do not wish this upon anyone. The school ruined everything for me. This school needs to be shut down and everyone needs to know about how horrible they treated their students.
