Pacbay school was a truly exceptional experience for our child and our family. The school fosters a nurturing and inclusive environment that balances academic excellence and character development.

I don't think PacBay is good for high school. They cut the baseball team last year. It also cut the surfing outdoor education program. We don't have any music or other enrichment classes. Even though it's supposed to be a Christian school, I did more volunteer work and community service in a public school. I thought the academics would be more challenging here, but we keep losing good teachers and getting new ones who get fired in the middle of the school year, but they don't tell us why. I have the chance to move to another school next year, and I'm going to take it so I can get more opportunities and better experiences to prepare myself for college. High school here is a poor experience. Some kids are nice but pretty unsocial. Most everyone talks of leaving if they have the chance. I gave this school year a try, but the school keeps having more and more problems affecting students. It's also too small and getting smaller.

This is a very strange school. There is no sense of community among the parents, the kids seem disengaged and disconnected from each other. We pulled our daughter out after 6 months she was unhappy and we felt that she was getting a very mediocre education for the money. We were looking for a more well rounded experience and this school did not offer any of that. It is a beautiful setting but that is where it stops. Even the teachers and administration seem session than thrilled to be there.

Clubs are also nonexistent. Admin love boasting about how great of a school this is then after no ones looking become the...

As a guardian of a rising senior and his older sister, I am thrilled to share our wonderful experience at PacBay. My senior came to the US as an international student and spent his first high school year at a smaller private school in San Francisco. He decided to transfer to PacBay in his sophomore...

As a guardian of a graduating senior, I am really happy with the experiences at PacBay for the past two years. We transferred to Pacbay as a Junior from another private school with a much larger student population. I like PacBay because it has a small community, which means teachers are easily acces...
