We absolutely love PB Middle school. The staff, the parents, and the kids, all wonderful. It is like a hidden gem that we were blessed to stumble upon. I drive my daughter, and next year my son, 20 minutes each way because there is nowhere I would rather them go. The academic IB program is top notch, the athletic programs are unmatched, and the music program and other clubs are highly regarded in the community.

Pacific Beach Middle School is the perfect fit for my family. This year was my oldest daughter’s first year of middle school. She came from Crown Point Junior Music Academy and had a great teacher, Ms. Bower, that challenged my daughter and opened her mind even more than when she started there two years prior. Pacific Beach picked up where elementary school left off. This school is a well-​oiled machine but at the same time a very personal experience filled with educators that are dedicated to our children.
My daughter constantly tells me about her day at school because she experiences something good each day. Her teachers invest in her and the other students by sharing their own challenges that relate to current challenges a student may be facing with the curriculum. Positive human relationships form in the classroom and throughout the school.
The best way to sum up PB Middle is to say that it is a positive community where each person plays an important role. Children feel safe and nurtured. Most importantly, they are being well prepared for their academic futures. I have no doubt that my daughter will thrive in high school and college because the IB curriculum is setting the course for her success.
Well done!

I love the auditorium here. It reminded me of my school growing up. It has that old school vibe and it’s huge. New schools being built are not this big.
Location is by the beach and so that’s a plus. Hope we have more field trips for plays here.

Amazing school. IB program is definitely a big plus for your child education.
Curriculum is challenging especially if your child is a GATE student. Students are learning maxing skills. The principal has been here fro 4 years. She does an excellent job and no incident had to be reported. Pretty god for a Middle school!
The only con: lack of communication with the parents. But the kids are up to date!
